Water Conservation
Teton County is committed to reducing unnecessary use of water across our operations.
- We are installing low-flow fixtures wherever possible in our facilities.
- We employ timing and moisture strategies to irrigation systems to reduce over-watering & loss from evaporation.
- We are evaluating and installing low-water landscaping and zero-scaping around County buildings.
- We are benchmarking our facilities to identify more opportunities for water conservation.
Water Quality
Teton County, along with partners, has approved a Water Quality Management Plan to protect our water resource and provide safe water for residents, visitors, and wildlife for years to come. Here is the mission statement for the plan.
Teton County is developing a 20-year vision and implementation Water Quality Management Plan that protects surface water and groundwater resources from future degradation and improves water quality where known degradation is occurring. The Plan will address management of wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water, as well as surface and groundwater resources.
