Healthy Lawns - Clean Water: About Us
About Us
The Town of Exeter is working toward meeting Federal Clean Water Act requirements by reducing the amount of nitrogen reaching our rivers. Nitrogen is the prime culprit harming the health of our rivers and Great Bay, with chemical fertilizer being a major contributor.
The Town has partnered with a group of dedicated volunteers to spread the word about the wise use of fertilizers with the goal of reducing nitrogen runoff to our waterways. This effort called “Healthy Lawns – Clean Water Initiative” is supported by a grant from the Piscataqua Regions Estuary Partnership (PREP). The Committee is comprised of members from the Planning Board, Water/Sewer Committee, Conservation Commission and the general public.
To participate in the Healthy Lawns – Clean Water Initiative or for more information contact Kristen Murphy with the Exeter Planning Department at (603) 773-6112 or kmurphy@exeternh.gov.
