Congress Must Protect Our Drinking Water

Recent Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of protections of the Clean Water Act, putting the drinking water of millions of Americans at risk for contamination.

But, Congress has an opportunity to restore the original protections of the Clean Water Act. Contact your Members of Congress TODAY to insist that they support the Clean Water Restoration Act.

Subject:

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

As a constituent and member of the League of Conservation Voters, I am writing to urge you to support the Clean Water Restoration Act. This legislation would restore the original intentions of the Clean Water Act, which has been compromised by recent Supreme Court rulings.

These rulings narrowed the scope of protections of the Clean Water Act, and as a result have allowed developers and corporate polluters to contaminate streams, rivers, wetlands, lakes, and other previously protected waters.

The loss of Clean Water Act safeguards has put the drinking water of more than 110 million Americans in jeopardy. This is unacceptable.

The Clean Water Restoration Act would not only restore protections to drinking water at risk for contamination, but it would also streamline enforcement among Federal, state, and local governments, providing better protection of sensitive areas. In addition, it will ensure that water and wetlands used for boating, fishing, and other recreation are kept free of contamination, disease, and bacteria.

Please do your part to restore the critical protections of the Clean Water Act by supporting the Clean Water Restoration Act.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
