Water & Air Quality
From the water we drink to the water we swim in, we in Westchester County are working to protect this precious resource. Unfortunately, many seemingly innocuous things we do each day - wash our cars, walk our dogs, tend our lawns - can pollute our water. By taking a few extra moments to follow some of the suggestions made in these pages you can help to keep our water clean. That way our children and their children's children can fill their glasses to the top - right from the tap.
