August is National Water Quality month! We're encouraging everyone to learn more about the streams, springs, and stewardship opportunities in Silver City. The availability of clean water drew settlers to Silver City over 150 years ago and it still drives our community today. Water makes our town, our industries, and our environment thrive. Clean and healthy water is good for us and our environment. Every piece of trash removed from our streets, trails, and arroyos helps protect the health of local streams, groundwater, and wildlife habitat. Join us this month to make a visible impact—while learning how litter affects water quality and what we can do to protect this precious resource for future generations.
