Hi! I'm Droplet, an advocate for keeping Salt Lake County waterways clean through education, coalitions, and trainings.

Stormwater runoff carries pollutants such as fertilizers, pet waste, engine oil, and morestraight to our streams, rivers, and lakes. No filters. No treatment.

A single gram of pet waste contains an average of 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, some of which can cause disease in humans. Bag and trash pet waste to keep E.coli!

Dog owners know that pet waste has a funny way of sneaking under the snow for a springtime reveal. While unpleasant – cleaning up waste in winter is very important. If the waste isn’t picked up then it will seep/wash bacteria into our watershed.

Folks are swimming in the once polluted Willamette River! Communities are re-thinking the valuable water assets in their communities. See the vision of this renaissance on CBS Eye on America, and watch our feed for what's in store for the Jordan River.

Clean Stormwater Vehicle Maintenance Tip: Working with automotive liquids can get messy. Clean spills with a rag, not water- wipe spills up whenever possible; properly dispose of contaminated cleaning supplies.

You and your car can help keep stormwater clean.
Wash your car at a commercial car wash and use a mechanic that recycles oil (or you can recycle it if you change your own oil).

Clean Stormwater Vehicle Maintenance Tip: Chose an environmentally responsible mechanic- ask your mechanic about how they dispose of those and make sure they handle them in an environmentally- friendly way. #StormwaterCarCare #DoALittleHelpALot #WeAllLiveDownstream #Stormwater

Pick up pet waste and go easy on fertilizers! Pet waste + fertilizers contain nutrients that are carried by stormwater runoff directly into our waterways, negatively impacting the whole aquatic food chain! That's bad for all of us! #WeAllLiveDownstream #Eutrophication

Brrrr! Stay in and start planning for your spring garden! Consider installing a rain barrel to capture water this spring! You can sign up to be on the Salt Lake County-RainHarvest Utah waitlist. Earlybirds get a nice discount!

January is not too soon to be planning how you'll make the best use of the available water this year in your yard & garden! Rain barrels, rain gardens, Xeriscaping and drip systems are good solutions!\

Ice/snow melt products used on sidewalks & driveways run off directly into our streams, rivers and lakes. Looking for friendly solutions?

We all impact water quality. You can choose if it's for better or worse... Today's tip: Pick and up throw away trash. Most of the trash in the water starts out as trash on land.

Winter weather brings challenges not just for humans but also for our furry companions. Frost, snow, and icy conditions can pose risks to pets’ health and safety. Keep your pets warm, comfortable, and safe during the cold months.
