Name: Watershed Willie
Hobbies: Swimming, digging holes and
picking up trash
Watershed Willie is a crawfish, a fresh
water crustacean closely related to
lobsters. Willie is always trying to get
his claw on any small meal he can,
usually a snail or small fish. But pollution is
one thing Willie can’t get a handle on. It poisons his food
and messes up his home. That’s why he reminds all of us to
be “pollution free and responsible.”

Name: Cactus Callie
Hobbies:
Gardening, being outside,
Texas history
Cactus Callie is a Prickly Pear Cactus,
one of the most famous low-water use
plants. Callie loves being outdoors,
but she’s not a big drinker. She can
store water for a long time — a big
advantage in the long, hot summer. Cactus Callie
really conserves water and encourages us to do the same.

Name: Buckets
Age: 2
Hobbies:
Chasing cars, barking at
water wasters, being a
loyal friend
When it comes to saving water, Buckets
is one eager puppy. His owner is Will
Saver and they’re always working to
help save our precious water supply.
Buckets has learned some neat tricks, like
turning off faucets and moving sprinklers so they don't hit
the driveway. Like Buckets, we should do our best to
conserve water.

Name: Will Saver
Age: 11
Hobbies:
Boating, writing stories,
recycling, encouraging others to be water savers
Will Saver is the perfect example of
everything a good citizen should
be. Together with his dog Buckets,
Will is always on the lookout for faucets that
have been left on, sprinklers that have run too long, and
garbage that could hurt our water supply. In fact, Will's
favorite day of the week is when he puts out his recycling
container for the city to pick up. And every week, Will
visits a local day care center to teach young kids how
they can be water super heroes too.

Walter quizzes everyone about how water gets to their homes.
