Reduce My Polluted Runoff

When we over irrigate our lawn, or when it rains, water can run off to lower areas, and make its way into our streams and ocean. On its journey, water can pick up and carry substances that pollute our ocean, cause harm to marine life, and ultimately affect our unique West Maui way of life. (And that’s no good.) Here’s how you can reduce polluted runoff from the start.

Reduce My Water Runoff

When we use less water, or give it a chance to soak into the ground, less polluted runoff will make its way into our waterways. That means a healthy ocean—and cleaner waves!—for us all.
