We're thrilled to announce a milestone achievement at Lake Keowee Source Water Protection Team. As of today, we've successfully assisted in fixing failing septic tanks for 100 households since our journey began on October 21, 2020. 🌿 These interventions aren't just about repairs; they represent a commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being. With each fix, we're making a tangible impact on our ecosystem. 💧 Our efforts result in a remarkable reduction of 2.42E12 bacteria load annually, along with 1,220 pounds of phosphorus and 61,000 pounds of nitrogen. That's a total nutrient reduction of 62,220 pounds per year! 🌱 Thank you to our dedicated team and supportive community for making this achievement possible. Here's to many more milestones as we continue our mission to protect our environment and promote sustainability. 🌍 #EnvironmentalStewardship #CommunityImpact #Sustainability #MilestoneAchievement #LakeKeowee @greenvillewatersc, Seneca Light & Water, @duke_energy, @Oconee County SC, @pickenscountysc, @upstateforever, @friends_of_lake_keowee, Anderson and Pickens County Stormwater Partners, and Advocates for Quality Development

Happy Earth Day! Let's celebrate our beautiful planet and commit to protecting it together. 🌱💧 Here are some simple tips to keep our water clean: 1. Reduce chemical usage: Choose eco-friendly household products and avoid using harsh chemicals that can contaminate water sources. 2. Proper disposal: Dispose of hazardous materials like paints, oils, and batteries responsibly, following local regulations to prevent them from leaching into waterways. 3. Conserve water: Be mindful of water usage at home by fixing leaks, using water-saving appliances, and practicing water conservation habits. 4. Limit plastic waste: Reduce single-use plastic consumption to prevent plastic pollution in water bodies, harming aquatic life and ecosystems. 5. Support local initiatives: Get involved in community clean-up efforts, support water conservation projects, and advocate for policies that protect water resources. Together, we can make a difference for our planet! 🌍💙 #EarthDay #CleanWater #lakekeowee #lakelife #environmentalprotection
