PROTECTING OUR CORNER OF THE WATERSHED

Protecting Our Corner of the Watershed

 

It All Drains to Our Lakes and Rivers

 

A watershed is defined as an area that drains to a common point.  That common point may be a lake, the outlet of a river or any point within a river system.  As residents of the Village of Dimondale, we are part of the Grand River Watershed and therefore anything that enters our storm drains or catch basins eventually ends up in the Grand River.  Here are a few steps to take that will help protect our watershed:

​

                                 Soil test before you apply fertilizers, and if needed, use low or no-phosphorus products

                                 Dispose of pet waste properly in the trash or toilet

                                 Recycle and dispose of household chemicals properly (motor oil, cleaners, paint, etc.)

                                 Report illicit discharges such as materials being dumped into a storm drain or direct connections by                                             contacting the Village of Dimondale at 517-646-0230 or the EGLE hotline at 1-800-292-4706

Remember, clean waterways benefit EVERYONE!
