Governor Evers Declares August as ‘National Water Quality Month’

Governor Tony Evers is proclaiming August as “National Water Quality Month” in the state of Wisconsin.  Evers declared 2019 as the “Year of Clean Drinking Water” because he says the drinking water of tens of thousands of Wisconsin families does not meet acceptable health standards.  The governor said “It is time for our state to fund restoration projects, incorporate science into our natural resource policy, address widespread water contamination, and acknowledge the real and imminent threat of climate change.”  He says we can restore out waterways and ensure clean drinking water for every community in the state.
