Movie Theater Ads/Videos

Groundwater protection ads are now running as part of the pre-movie trailers at Celebration Cinema Theatre at Crossroads, AMC Portage Street 10 - Kalamazoo and at Kalamazoo 10 Theatre in Kalamazoo .

The ads cover such topics as the fact that groundwater is the source of drinking water in our county, groundwater properties, the need for groundwater protection, the proper disposal of hazardous household products to prevent groundwater contamination and the proper management of activities on our property to prevent pollution from entering city storm sewers and ultimately polluting creeks, streams, rivers and lakes. This on-going project has been primarily funded by multiple grants from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE; formerly known as the Department of Environmental Quality or DEQ Wellhead Protection Program.
