Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and Cascade Water Alliance are partnering to launch a new program, Lake TappsWise, to keep Lake Tapps reservoir healthy and clean.

The program provides free information and workshops on natural yard care and septic maintenance for Lake Tapps residents.

Learn more about Lake TappsWise workshops and certification, and other programs and activities around the lake, at Cascade’s community open house scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, April 26, at North Tapps Middle School, 20029 12th St. E, Bonney Lake.

Two Lake TappsWise workshops are scheduled in May at the Tapps Island Clubhouse, 20818 Island Parkway E, Lake Tapps. More will be scheduled later in the year.

The workshops are free, but registration is required. Space is limited, register at TappsWise@TPCHD.org.
