This is a very large volume of rain for our region. “It’s these shorter bursts that are more intense that are emblematic of climate change, and we’ve certainly been seeing that,” he said. “As far as we’re concerned, this is climate-related.”

For so many reasons, it is time for Michigan to pass aggressive #climate action legislation. Among them - there are federal dollars available to help us transition to a carbon neutral future. https://t.co/KU3BD2so5B

Thank you to our Michigan lawmakers like @ShinkSue for advocating for investments in clean water in this year’s state budget. Wins for #lead removal, addressing #PFAS, improving #waterinfrastructure and #watertrails.

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

We are all committed to working together at every level of government to make sure investments in clean, safe, and affordable water are reaching our communities where they are most needed. Water is a basic human right and we must fight every day to protect it.
