Sewage spills threaten drinking water, spoil recreation, hinder economic values, and harm wildlife. River advocates across the nation are fighting the rising tide of sewage pollution.
Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) had an amazing experience at the 2007 River Action Day. CCE and local river advocates met 15 Senate and House members and staff from the New York and Connecticut delegations. We discussed improving sewage pollution notification, designating wild and scenic rivers, and other clean water priorities- including funding for beach water testing, Long Island Sound protection, and Great Lakes restoration.
