Contra Costa Clean Water Program

Keep the summer vibes fresh by keeping our creeks clean!

Join your neighbors in picking up litter before it flows from sidewalks to streams or the beach. Find a community cleanup near you, here: https://cccleanwater.org/current-events/.

Put the power in power washing and prevent stormwater pollution! Whether you hire a business or do it yourself, always vacuum up wash water and dispose of it in a sanitary sewer (such as a toilet or sink).

Greening up your yard this summer?

Clean waterways can start in your own front yard! Go easy on fertilizers and pesticides to prevent watershed pollution. Water your yard during the early morning to prevent overwatering (which can lead to irrigation runoff).
