Data ​analysis

You don’t need to guess, nor blindly ​trust. Many agencies at the state, ​federal or city level provide a wealth ​of information on our water system ​and its current state. We wish to ​assist​ you in your navigation!

testing f​or self

Cheap solutions exist to measure ​yourself whether your water is ​drinkable as per EPA standards. ​There are many contaminants, but ​for less than a dollar, you can learn a ​lo​t.

c​ivic empowerment

You may still have some doubt, or ​think of broader issues. By ​consulting the data platforms, you ​will learn for yourself, on which door ​to knock, who to reach out to know ​your rights and advocate for ​solutions​

Don’t drop out.

Tap in.
