In Port Huron, fresh water is part of everyday life. From Lake Huron and the St. Clair River to our parks, beaches, drinking water, boating, fishing, and waterfront views, our community is shaped by the water around us.

During Great Lakes & Fresh Water Week, the City of Port Huron is proud to recognize the importance of protecting, appreciating, and preserving our freshwater resources for future generations.

Residents can help by keeping debris out of storm drains, properly disposing of waste, and respecting our shoreline, parks, and waterways.

Fresh water is part of who we are — let’s take care of it.
