The Watersafe Challenge

Join Water Watchers Isaac Colgan and Mike Skehan, and Sheryl Howe, Hydrogeologist at the WA State Dept. of Health, to learn about the island aquifers and steps islanders can take to protect their private wells.

Water is a precious resource, and one that we need to protect. This is why Water Watchers and the Lummi Island Heritage Trust have come together to create the Watersafe Challenge, a new partnership dedicated to helping islanders protect Lummi Island’s precious water supply.

We know rising seas and hotter and drier summers pose potential threats to our drinking water. As the island population grows and we welcome more vacationers, we’ve seen our water consumption patterns change – especially in the summer. To make sure we have clean, safe, and adequate drinking water in the future, we need to take measures now – and we mean actual measures. We need data, and that is what the Watersafe Challenge is all about.
