Action Alert February 13, 2015
An exciting week of events
Support Clean Water by Attending the public hearing on Monday February 16 at 8:30 am in the House of Delegates Chamber at the state capitol on House Bill 2289, a DEP bill that would reclassify the Kanawha River as a Catagory A drinking water source. This would allow a secondary drinking water intake to be built on the Kanawha River. Having a secondary intake would make the 300,000 people who depend on Charleston's water far less likely to lose their water again as they did last year. More

Friday January 9 Activities Mark Anniversary of Water Crisis
A year ago on January 9, many of us woke and wondered what was in the air that could be causing a strange licorice-like odor? Later, we learned that it was not only our air, but our water, that had been contaminated here in Charleston, and in eight other neighboring counties. More

“Taste of Fracking” Comes to Charleston
“Don’t drink, cook or even bathe in the water,” I heard the announcer say on public radio. Not something you hear everyday about your tap water. Charleston and WV Lawmakers, this is a "Taste Of Fracking" right here in the capital city. Ironic that the cause was the coal service industry. Maybe both need better monitoring and regulation? More
