Cascade's mission is to provide clean, safe, reliable drinking water for the next 50 years and beyond. Landscaping is a major factor in water quality. People want to have a beautiful yard and garden, but many chemicals and methods used can be unhealthy and may pollute our water supply. This page provides information about environmentally-friendly landscaping.
