Protecting Our Watershed
This unique partnership between the Department of Public Utilities, its customers and local watershed groups encourages residential backyard conservation, water and energy conservation and promotes public education to improve watershed health. The program will emphasize rainbarrel distribution and rain garden workshops, lawn care, stream stewards and water quality monitoring, and stream clean ups.

Become involved with a local watershed group. Many groups offer speakers and workshops periodically. Contact a group active in your area or link on to one of the following web sites:
