Take Action

Your Voice. Your Water. Your Family.

Clean water doesn't happen by accident — it happens because people like you test, speak up, and hold systems accountable. Here are three ways to take action today.

Order a Water Test Kit

Certified lab kits for lead, PFAS, TTHMs, arsenic, nitrates, and more. Results you can act on.

Email Your Water Utility

Request your full water quality report and ask about lead service lines, PFAS monitoring, and source water protection.

Dear [Utility Name] Customer Service,

I am a resident at [your address] and a customer of your water system. I am writing to request the following information:

1. A copy of the most recent full water quality report (not just the CCR summary)
2. Whether my home is served by a lead service line, and if so, the replacement timeline
3. PFAS monitoring results for my system, if available
4. Source water protection measures in place for my watershed

Thank you for your commitment to transparency and public health. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Contact Your Elected Officials

Advocate for stronger standards, infrastructure investment, and full lead service line replacement.

Dear [Representative/Senator name],

I am your constituent and a parent concerned about drinking water safety. I urge you to support:

1. Full lead service line replacement by 2037 or sooner
2. Sustained PFAS monitoring and enforcement at the 4 ppt federal limit
3. State water infrastructure funding (NY: $250M in 2026 grants — please ensure full allocation)
4. Public disclosure of all water test results, not just violations
5. The Embryo-Standard principle: zero ppb as the health-protective goal for neurotoxic contaminants

Our children deserve water that is truly safe, not merely legally compliant. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Attend a Water Board Meeting

Public comment periods are your chance to ask questions on the record. Here's how to prepare.

Tips for Water Board Meetings:

1. Check your utility website for meeting dates and public comment procedures
2. Prepare a 2–3 minute statement — be specific, respectful, and solution-oriented
3. Bring printed copies of your questions for board members and press
4. Key questions to ask:
   - What is our system's current PFAS monitoring status?
   - How many lead service lines remain, and what is the replacement timeline?
   - What is our TTHM level trend over the past 5 years?
   - What source water protection measures are in place?
5. Follow up in writing after the meeting
