Our water … It’s part of our way of life and who we are. It sustains our ecosystem, our community and our economy. But there’s only so much of it to go around. So if we want water around in the future … for our children to drink, our grandchildren to splash in and our families to enjoy, it’s up to us all. We hope you’ll join our campaign.
It’s our water. Let’s protect it, conserve it and restore it. Together.

Western New York Stormwater Coalition: A number of communities in Western New York have joined together to develop a stormwater management program to protect our waterways and enhance our quality of life. The goal of the Coalition is to utilize regional collaboration to identify existing resources and develop programs to reduce the negative impacts of stormwater pollution.
- Pollution from Buffalo Niagara’s sewer systems and storm water runoff.
- Poor conservation practices in Buffalo Niagara pollute and waste our water.
