Help Community Water Center demand more funding to address drinking water challenges!
CWC is calling on Governor Schwarzenegger and San Joaquin Valley Congressional representatives to provide direct emergency funding to communities regularly drinking toxic tap water and work to create long-term solutions to the San Joaquin Valley drinking water crisis. It is time to ensure that no community goes another day without access to safe water!State grant funds were appropriated to develop permanent solutions to drinking water problems in the area, but remain frozen. Federal stimulus funding was granted to areas with more resources that qualify as “shovel ready” – with the money to ensure projects are ready to go, they have a huge advantage over places like Seville! Many communities have lacked access to safe water for more than a decade and have had applications pending at every state and federal funding agency for much of that time.
