Protecting Our Ground Water
- Limit use of household and garden chemicals.
- Never pour chemicals or paint down the sink or storm drain, or on the ground.
- Bring all hazardous waste (such as motor oil) to a hazardous waste collection center.
Conserving Our Ground Water
- Check all sinks (outside and inside), sprinkler system, and pools
(automatic refilling device) for leaks.
- Fix leaks, and you will save a significant amount of water.
- Install low-volume toilets and water efficient showerheads.
- Turn off water when brushing teeth and save 4 gallons a minute.
-
When washing dishes by hand don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill the sink with rinse water.
We at the Pompton Lakes Municipal Utilities Authority work hard to provide top quality water to every tap.
We ask that all of our customers help us to protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community.
