As water flows over land, it collects soil, pet wastes, fertilizers, pesticides, oils and other pollutants. Even if your house is not near a stream or river, the runoff will flow down the street into a ditch or storm drain that eventually empties into a stream or lake, taking soil and pollutants with it. By making wise decisions in your yard about lawn care and chemical disposal, you can protect our water quality.

Better water quality means protected sources of drinking water and a safe environment for you and your family.

Please explore the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership's website for more information about protecting your water quality.
