LCV Supports Passage of Clean Water Restoration Act

The story goes like this: in 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, which held the government accountable for keeping America’s water pristine and potable. However, a series of Supreme Court rulings since 2001 have seriously diminished the scope of governmental protection of our nation’s waters. As a result, the drinking water of over 110 million Americans is now at risk.

LCV is determined to make Congress recognize how the 1972 Clean Water act has been abused. Along with wildlife, the health of millions of Americans depends on the government reinforcing legislation that adheres to the original intent of the bill to keep all of America’s natural waterways clean.
