NYC Watershed: The Tap Water Campaign

Avoid Polluting the Watershed

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the leading source of water quality impairment is polluted stormwater runoff. Many pollutants are found in legal, commonly used household products – cleaning chemicals for our homes, oil and gasoline for our vehicles, pesticides and fertilizers for our lawns, and pharmaceuticals for ourselves.

Please help protect our water supplies by making sure these potentially harmful products are used only in limited quantities when necessary, and that they are disposed of properly.

For simple household tips on what you can do to help, see the links below.
