Safe Drinking Water Group

"Watch Upstream"

We are dedicated to helping people obtain and protect Safe Drinking Water for their families. It is important for communities to share information and learn more. Many parents are especially concerned about protecting their children and family pets. Are our water wells contaminated? What are the plans for improving water treatment plants? Is it wiser to drink bottled water from the store? Is the water safe for cooking? What about the food we eat?
