Homeowners can take many steps to maintain and preserve our watersheds. Whether we live in the city or in the country, runoff from fields, landscapes, parking lots, and streets can carry pollution and eroded soil into our streams and lakes. Polluted water is a health and environmental concern, and where runoff can’t soak into the soil, increased flooding is also a risk. In many cities, new regulations are requiring smaller amounts of rain water runoff and where runoff occurs, it should be cleaner than it has been in the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/f1a3b0d6-170d-436b-956c-1c24f80938d9/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+11.14.11+PM.png Home https://www.papillionlavistawatershed.com/rain-barrels daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692933290349-SRAIXTRTG4K058T8BMWV/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/3bbabe66-6457-46ab-b9d1-4053dec1a339/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+10.58.42+PM.png Rain Barrels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/afa0d5cf-e0d5-4f72-85ec-7ef3a86fa927/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+11.02.18+PM.png Rain Barrels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/2fd58b05-705e-40b2-99e5-0d9828564fcc/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+11.03.16+PM.png Rain Barrels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/a08070f1-685a-4c10-9d87-604b8463d3cf/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+11.03.02+PM.png Rain Barrels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/fd608008-8410-4813-8740-d41f288a8b74/Screenshot+2023-08-24+at+11.02.45+PM.png Rain Barrels https://www.papillionlavistawatershed.com/get-involved daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692929441829-SZ6H5WVRBRGQQC17DYFL/image-asset.jpeg Get Involved - Rain Barrels Rain Barrels help to lower your water bills by collecting rain water that falls on your roof each year. They also help improve our environment. Most of the time, the water that hits the roof goes directly into the downspouts, onto the pavement, and into the stormwater system. This water can instead be used to water your trees, irrigate plants, clean off tools, or wash your car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692930246198-XXYOGFSW7R4M8QPM05UY/image-asset.jpeg Get Involved - Stormwater Management Protection of water quality is an environmental issue everyone faces. When it rains and as snow melts, water runs across and off our property. This runoff water is referred to as stormwater. As stormwater flows across surfaces, it picks up pollutants in its path and eventually deposits them into streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, or other surface water. There are many things that home and land owners can do to reduce and slow runoff, as well as ensuring that runoff is pollutant-free. These can include: Downspout redirection Rain Gardens and Green Roofs Composting Chemical and Turf Management Find out more about stormwater management here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692931531726-P5RBEMFV0VEW3B4UHP0G/image-asset.jpeg Get Involved - Drinking Water & Home Water Conservation How much do you really know about the water you drink every day?

Instead of putting these chemicals into the trash, down the storm drain, or into the ground, take them to your local hazardous waste center. Illegal dumping pollutes our land and violates the rights of others. It’s not only dangerous, especially to children and pets, it is also expensive to clean up. Use the button below to find your nearest waste center and learn how to report spills, dumping, or draining of pollutants in your neighborhood. https://www.papillionlavistawatershed.com/drinking-water daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692940227365-YB9O0IMOJ8GXBX800ZVZ/image-asset.jpeg Drinking Water and Conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692940323360-9TGLKF7L9S1S9X8I4AIP/image-asset.jpeg Drinking Water and Conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692940353157-7DE1V4ELXAL65ICRDKFN/image-asset.jpeg Drinking Water and Conservation https://www.papillionlavistawatershed.com/stormwater-management daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692937220266-6G4ZIXW51PLZL2IASST2/image-asset.jpeg Stormwater Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692937651056-2BNFU6BD53WSZHAOP55P/image-asset.jpeg Stormwater Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692938150788-MSJK7IYBUNZRUCXO8GP3/image-asset.jpeg Stormwater Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692938239110-I1EHLQH7RIEESDQ010OF/image-asset.jpeg Stormwater Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/1692938670628-ZTFHA11VKF8T28M39GNW/image-asset.jpeg Stormwater Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cb6e3845c46245021ba4c/d2166894-8da6-4a8f-b448-a4a837e0d635/image-asset.jpg Stormwater Management
