Today is the 50th Anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the law that protects the health and safety of the water that comes out of our taps. We believe that no matter who you are, what you look like, or how much money you have - YOU have the right to clean drinking water. This year, Coosa Riverkeeper has worked to protect drinking water by:![]()
💧 Conducting multiple PFAS sampling efforts this year to uncover critical data about toxic contamination in our waterways.![]()
💧 Being featured in the Southern Exposure Film Fellowship short film "The Cost of Forever" that discussed what PFAS is, the impacts, and what to to do about it![]()
💧 Stopping a quarry that would have impacted well water across an entire community![]()
💧 Visiting several wastewater treatment plants across the basin to better understand the process of waste water and drinking water![]()
