February 2012 Green Tip – Protect the Water Supply

Clean water is often taken for granted – just turn on the faucet and out comes clean water. However, water supplies can easily become contaminated from air and ground pollutants. One gallon of motor oil can potentially contaminate 1 million gallons of drinking water according to the EPA.  Take motor oil to a recycling center.  Reduce the use of fertilizers, pesticides and household chemicals that can end up in the water supply through runoff.
