In the news today, the
Watershed Defenders foiled
a scheme by the Contaminator
and his henchmen to pollute our
local river with paint and used
motor oil …
Unfortunately, the Contaminator
escaped capture and is still at large.
The Watershed Defenders are
asking for your help. With
everyone’s cooperation, we will be
able to deal with the Contaminator.
Dad, did you know that those soap suds are going
into the storm drain, which will end up
polluting the river?
Hey Sis, did you know
that you can save 2 gal-
lons of water each day
by turning the water
off while you brush?
Mom, did you know that most
dishwashers use the same amount
of water to wash a small load as they
do a full load?
Be a Watershed Defender—
Protect and Conserve Water!
1. Shower instead of taking a bath.
2. Don’t litter.
3. Stop those leaks! If you see a leaky
faucet, tell somebody.
4. When doing laundry, adjust the
water level appropriately. The
clothes washer is the second
largest water user in your home.
5. Water the lawn in the morning or
evening, and don’t over-water.
6. Scoop the poop. Put pet waste in
the trash.
