At a Capitol hearing today, friends and partners from across the state shared powerful and personal reasons why the Water Pollution Notification Act matters.

A big step forward on the Water Pollution Notification Act!
Hi John,
I wanted to share a quick update from the Capitol today. The Senate Committee on Natural Resources, Veteran and Military Affairs held a hearing on the Water Pollution Notification Act – a key Right to Know bill we’re working to pass.
I was there testifying alongside several friends and partners, and I’m happy to report that seven people and organizations testified in support of the bill. We heard powerful support from:
Isak Drangstveit, a UW-Madison environmental studies student and former Conservation Lobby Day participant, who spoke about growing up in Crandon and how essential clean water is for rural families and Wisconsin’s timber economy
From Campbell to Nelsonville to Crandon, people made it clear Wisconsinites want and deserve timely information when their water isn’t safe. This was a great step forward, but we can’t stop here.
We’re also working to get a public hearing scheduled in the Assembly, possibly as soon as January. If you’re interested in testifying at the Capitol, feel free to email me at [email protected].
You built this success! As always, thank you for being part of this fight and for standing up for clean water and healthy families in Wisconsin.
