MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is providing tips on how to protect groundwater.
Saving water and protecting groundwater starts at home. Simple steps like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, fixing leaks, and using a cold-water pitcher, can make a big difference. Well owners are urged to test their water every year, especially if there’s a change in taste or color.
It’s also recommended that households reduce chemical use, choose natural cleaners, and properly dispose of hazardous waste. You can find more tips by visiting the DNR’s website.
