This site is sponsored by the Tippecanoe County Partnership for Water Quality, which seeks to partner with local, state, and federal government and other stakeholders to provide quality of life and protection of health, environment, and economy that our citizens desire and deserve as we serve as stewards of natural resources, system infrastructure, and public funds while solving stormwater and water quality issues. To learn more about who we are and our goals and objectives, please visit the About Us page.
Fueling Stations and Used Motor Oil
Fueling Stations are a potential source of stormwater pollution
The TCPWQ has chosen to extend their focus for education and outreach efforts to include the impacts and risks associated with vehicle fuels entering the storm sewer system and eventually local streams and rivers. To read more about how our habits are fueling stations may affect local streams and rivers, and how the TCPWQ is addressing it, please visit this page.
Pet Waste
Dog waste is raw sewage.
Scoop the poop, bag it, and place it in the trash.
For 2011 and 2012, the TCPWQ has chosen to focus their education and outreach efforts on the impacts and risks associated with pet waste entering the storm sewer system and eventually local streams and rivers. Further, the Partnership agreed that the primary focus of these efforts would be dog waste.

TCPWQ Adopts River - We need your support!
The Tippecanoe County Partnership for Water Quality has worked with the Indiana Department of Natural Resource's Adopt-A-River 
program to adopt a portion of the Wabash River from the Pedestrian Bridge between Lafayette and West Lafayette south one mile in late 2008. Join the hundreds of Tippecanoe County residents who have participated in River Clean Ups. Your family, church, school or civic group can assist or simply come alone to join with other involved citizens. Events such as Detrash the Wabash and Clean Sweep take place during the spring, summer and fall months. All supplies will be provided such as gloves, trash bags, and access to first aid. Call the Soil and Water Conservation District for more information on how you can keep litter out of the rivers! We need your support to keep Tippecanoe County beautiful.
