Get Informed: Your Right
to Know About Water Pollution
You have several upcoming chances to learn about the Sewage Pollution Right to Know Law, so you can make informed comments on this important public health and environmental law by July 31.
As our newly released “How’s the Water?” report shows, sewage discharges continue to make some areas of the Hudson River Estuary and its watershed unsafe for swimming, too frequently.
The Sewage Pollution Right to Know Law is one important tool in educating the public about known hazards, and building public support for two of Riverkeeper’s high priority actions: Closing the annual $800 million funding gap for wastewater statewide, and restoring staff and budgets for the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
Please plan to attend one of these public information sessions about the law, and watch out for action items soon from Riverkeeper. Don’t let this important opportunity go by without telling decision-makers that clean water matters to you, and that you support clean water investments.
