If you have a new water meter, use the EyeOnWater mobile app or online portal to see exactly how much water you’re using and get customizable alerts indicating leaks.

Pet waste left on the ground washes bacteria, viruses and parasites into local lakes and ponds, which can threaten the health of humans and animals. Pet waste also contains nutrients that promote weed and algae growth, turning waterbodies into a mucky, smelly mess. Picking it up helps keep our recreation areas clean, safe and beautiful.
