Why Wait…?

Whenever we do laundry, shower, wash dishes, or flush the toilet, the water we use goes down the drain and into the sewer. But when there’s heavy rain, that wastewater has to share the sewer with LOTS of rainwater. On those days, our sewers can fill to capacity and a mix of wastewater and rainwater can end up going into our waterways. You can be a Hero by waiting to use water in your home during heavy rain to help keep our waterways clean for our community and wildlife.

Ways to Wait…

You can help protect our waterways by:

💧 doing laundry later
💧 taking a shorter shower
💧 delaying dishwashing

and if you’re really brave…

💧 waiting to flush the toilet
