Water Conservation and Preservation
The City of Camrose has numerous projects in place to ensure that the citizens of Camrose are aware of
water conservation and preservation. Many of these projects involve youths in Camrose.Here are some useful links providing more information on these programs and what citizens can do to contribute to our water conservation and preservation efforts.
Yellow Fish Road
Yellow Fish Road is a program in which local youth paint yellow fish symbols by the storm sewer catch basins
(the places along the roadways where rainwater and melting snow collect). The yellow fish symbolize the animals in the environment
where this melted snow and rainwater eventually end up.
Water Watchdog
The Water Watchdog Progam is an initiative of "Partners for the Saskatchewan River Basin".
This program encourages participants to take action by testing and reporting on the quality of the
water in their own backyard streams and rivers, lakes and ponds.

This program allow us to gather and properly dispose of these household hazardous wastes.
