Outreach and Education Program
How Litter Flows in the Metedeconk Watershed and How Long It Lasts!
The Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority (Brick Utilities)
offers water-related educational programs to schools, municipalities
and community organizations within the Metedeconk River Watershed and
its water supply region. The programs are provided free of charge and
are geared towards a variety of age groups and interests. Presentations
are often customized to meet the particular needs of the organization
or audience and are sometimes in collaboration with other environmental
education programs in the area. Topics include:
• Watersheds and Nonpoint Source Pollution with EnviroScape® Model Demonstration
• Where Does My Water Come From?
• “How Much Water Is Used?” Flashcard Game
• Water Conservation Tips for Homeowners
• Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshops
• Native Landscaping
• Water Conservation in the Garden
• Metedeconk Watershed Mascot & Slogan School Contests
• Stream Cleanups
• Exhibits on Stormwater Pollution Prevention at Municipal Events and Green Fairs
Municipalities may use these programs to obtain credits towards
public education for NJPDES municipal stormwater (MS4) general
permits and if they are looking for credits from Sustainable Jersey.
Brick Utilities is offering its education and outreach program as
part of its commitment to protecting the Metedeconk River, our
primary source of water supply, as well as the Barnegat Bay. The
program is an important part of the Metedeconk River Watershed
Protection and Restoration Plan.
