We’re Preparing for Emergencies and So Should You
Local utilities like Clean Water Services and public agencies are also working together to plan for natural hazards, under the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Rain to Drain to River
Your actions, no matter how small, can impact the life cycle of the salmon, and the overall health of the watershed.
Give Thanks for Your Toilet
Have you thought about what it would be like to live without toilets? According to the WHO and CDC, about 3.6 billion people don’t have access to safely managed sanitation in their home. Inadequate sanitation systems spread human waste into rivers, lakes, and soil — contaminating the water resources under our feet.
Sewage Monitoring Tracks COVID-19
Clean Water Services (CWS) is tracking signs of COVID-19 in Washington County’s wastewater, and throughout the pandemic has been collaborating on research projects to help public health officials detect the presence and scope of the virus in other communities.
COVID-19 Updates
We continue to keep your safety and health at the forefront — so all of us have clean water for drinking, washing our hands, and helping prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
