Across Delaware, 377 bodies of water such as bays, creeks, and ponds experience pollution from fertilizers, sewage, runoff, toxics, and bacteria, impacting our public safety when swimming in our waterways and catching seafood in local areas. Due to a decrease in federal funding and increased community demands, our waterways and aging wastewater systems are still underfunded. Securing enough funding for clean water projects is imperative if we want to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
The Clean Water Campaign is a statewide effort to secure funding to improve Delaware's water – clean water is critical to our economy, environment, wildlife, food supply and public health.
Take action to ensure there is enough funding for clean water. Let your legislators know you live in their district and support secured funding for clean water.
