💧🐢 Water Wisdom Wednesday with Thomas the Turtle! 🍂

Hey there, water savers! 🐢 It's time to winterize your irrigation system before those freezing temperatures sneak up on us ! 🥶 I think we are already there but there is still time. I'm getting mine done today! 🙋

Save water, protect your pipes, and get ready for winter! 💧

🐢 💧Water Wisdom Wednesday with Thomas the Turtle!

🍁Hey there, Thomas here! I may be slow, but I'm pretty quick to notice when leaves are clogging up the storm drains! 🍂

As you are getting ready for winter, keep leaves and yard debris out of storm drains to prevent clogs, flooding, and water pollution! 💧

You enjoy it, so let's all protect it !
Pick up your trash, leave nature as you found it, and keep our waterways clean.
Because clean water = happy fish, happy people, and one very happy turtle. 🐢😎

The WQPD has been busy this week at the Grizzly Gulch Mine Reclamation Project, planting more than 100 trees, shrubs, and grasses to help bring this site back to life. It look a lot of hard work, sweat, and motivation to complete this project.
Way to go team WQPD !! 🍂

🌱Planting Day at Grizzly Gulch Mine Reclamation Site🌱
If you're available Monday, the 21st, we're planting again up at the GG Site!
Come lend a hand, because apparently, we didn't plant enough the first time. Seriously, some trees didn't survive all the nibbling from the 4-legged animals. Bring gloves and be ready to play in the dirt.
