Watershed Protection

Clean water begins at the source, and protecting New York’s lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and watersheds is essential to ensuring safe and healthy drinking water.

Clean Water Infrastructure & Lead Pipes

New York’s aging water infrastructure, full of lead pipes, threatens public health. We advocate for impactful public investments to repair, replace, and upgrade NY’s outdated water infrastructure.

Emerging Contamination

Harmful contaminants, including toxic PFAS chemicals, jeopardize our drinking water quality. We fight to expand pollutant testing and clean up contamination at its source.
