Early one Sunday morning, she heard a broadcast on National Public Radio about No Mow May.

“It captured my imagination,” says Howie in this week’s Enterprise podcast. “And I thought, ‘Well, that’s easy.’”

According to Altamont’s latest drinking-water quality report, from 2021,  average demand in the village is about 189,000 gallons per day.  Altamont Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Moller said on June 9 that demand is now “pushing” 260,000 gallons per day.
