Water Conservation

Water is one of our most precious resources. It is vital to our lives and to our livelihoods - but the supply is not endless. We need to continue protecting it by reducing water use and preventing pollution.

Water can be wasted and polluted in many different ways, both through industrial uses and at home. How many of us stop to consider the old paint we wash down the drain? Or the household chemicals we use that end up in sewers?

Everyone who discharges wastewater into the environment is responsible for its quality whether it’s from a private home or a large municipal or industrial treatment center. By using our water supplies wisely, we can save on water and wastewater services costs and help the environment.

Everyone has a role to play in ensuring that Morden’s waters are drinkable, swimmable and fishable. Governments can set standards and monitor quality, but it’s up to all of us to preserve and protect this invaluable resource for generations to come.
