Did you know that by conserving water used outdoors you can helo prevent ocean pollution? By reducing sprinkler overwatering, washing your car on the lawn and cleaning pavement with a broom instead of a hose, you are not contributing to urban runoff. Any excess water that can run off into the curb and gutter, picks up and carries pollutants to the storm drain system. By preventing outdoor water waste, you are protecting the ocean!
