“I’d like dirtier water, please,” said no one ever. The Right to Clean Water Act keeps California’s water laws from going backwards, so that we can maintain the same clean water protections we’ve had for the last 50 years. #ProtectCAWater

The Potter Valley Project needs to move forward! It is time that we work together towards effective solutions as opposed to unnecessarily wasting time and resources on changing an outcome that has already been decided by PG&E.

The Supreme Court has limited #cleanwater protections for streams and #wetlands, leaving the health of our communities and wildlife at risk.

Part of keeping our water clean means making sure sewer pipes are clear. Clogs can cause backups, leaks, and overflowing. Help keep things flowing by not flushing wipes, even when they say you can. 🚽 flush3p.org
