This program is aimed at improving water quality in Fayette County. Businesses and apartment complexes are vitally important in keeping Fayette County’s water healthy and pollution-free. Many of the problems surrounding water quality are due to stormwater run-off coming from rain and snow melt that washes pollutants and litter into our streams and creeks. Other problems arise from materials being put down the drain incorrectly! By participating in this Water Improvement Program, your business or apartment complex will be making a difference to the quality of your water.
A watershed is defined by the EPA as “the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place.” Everyone lives in a watershed! Find your watershed on this map to see where all the water from your yard, business, or apartment drains to.
