Water Advocates
Aging infrastructure, strict requirements, and continued economic pressures have put unprecedented stress on local governments and agencies that provide essential water services. Elected officials are being called upon to make tough choices that will impact water quality and the viability of our communities for generations to come.
Let’s speak with a loud, united voice for water. The Water Advocates Program helps you to reach out to and connect with elected officials on important water quality issues.
Ask your members to support the WIPPES Act introduced by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) and Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola (R-AK) in the House and by Sen. Angus King (I-ME), Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in the Senate.
Ask your Members for support regarding liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for water, wastewater and stormwater systems that diligently adhere to all laws and regulations in the treatment and disposal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
