To help residents and businesses understand the link between clean water and good health, and also to understand their direct and important role in keeping our drinking water supply clean, GVA has developed the “Greener Living” outreach initiative.
Our goal with this program is to encourage watershed residents to “green up” their household and office routines and landscaping practices in an effort to ensure the health of both the ground water and surface water supplies that we all need.
