Water Guardians is a local environmental outreach program through the Fayette County Water System, offering citizens an opportunity to assist with keeping our vital drinking water reservoirs clean of trash and debris. Local citizen volunteers take charge of our valuable water resources, bringing their kayaks and canoes, scouring the lakes for trash.
In addition to keeping the water clean, the program also has volunteers picking up trash on the lake banks, parking lots, playgrounds, and asphalt walking paths within the park grounds. In recognition of participation, the Fayette County Water System and its partners provide each participant with a Water Guardians t-shirt and a free post-event meal on-site.
Volunteer participants are asked to sign up for each event by sending an email to:
WaterGuardiansFayette@gmail.com
Please list all names, t-shirt sizes and a daytime phone number in the email. Staff volunteers will be available to sign off on volunteer forms for scouting badges and school credit.
Parents will be required to sign an indemnification waiver for child volunteers. All kayak and canoe volunteers must have personal flotation devices aboard and follow all Georgia watercraft regulations.
