Nyles, who works in the environmental division for the Town of Apple Valley, is passionate about protecting the region’s water resources and raising awareness about the impacts of stormwater and groundwater pollution. As stormwater flows over streets, parking lots, and other surfaces, it collects pollutants like oil, chemicals and debris, which eventually contaminate waterways and groundwater sources. This not only disrupts ecosystems but also threatens the safety of drinking water that communities depend on. 

Nyles is dedicated to empowering residents with knowledge and simple actions, like proper waste disposal and reducing chemical use, to collectively make a meaningful impact. His commitment to safeguarding The Town of Apple Valley’s water stems from a deep desire to preserve the area’s natural beauty and ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.
