Maintaining a healthy lawn shouldn't jeopardize your drinking water. Chemical fertilizers and w**d killers contain nitrates that can leach into groundwater if applied or stored improperly. To protect your water supply, keep all lawn products at least 100 feet away from your wellhead, opt for organic or slow-release formulas, and avoid fertilizing right before heavy rain. Installing anti-siphoning devices on garden hoses also prevents dangerous backflow.
If you regularly treat your yard, routine water testing and professional inspections are essential to catching invisible contaminants early.
