Most water pollution comes from everyday activities happening in our own neighborhoods. Things like fertilizer washing off lawns, motor oil dripping from cars, litter blowing into storm drains, and pet waste left on the ground can all end up in our local streams and rivers when it rains. These "nonpoint source" pollutants add up fast, so be mindful of what's happening in your yard and on your street. It's one of the easiest ways to protect Macon's water.

Did you know you can keep an eye on your water use by checking your water meter? It's easier than you think! Your meter measures how much water flows into your home, and checking it regularly can help you spot unusual spikes in usage, which could signal a leak.

To check for a leak, turn off all water in your home and watch the meter. If it's still moving, water is going somewhere it shouldn't be. Knowledge is power when it comes to managing your water use.
