High levels of lead and cancer-causing chemicals have been found in Newark, New Jersey's water supply, as well as in the water supply of nearby towns. We the affected residents want environmental justice.
Why is this important?
1. We the affected residents, want federally certified water filtration/purification systems to be installed in every home, townhouse, apartment/apartment building, housing complexes, senior buildings, hospitals, schools, daycare centers, nursing homes, businesses/restaurants, and homeless shelters.
2. We want State and Federal Monitoring of all work and work-related contracts to Newark, New Jersey's servicing and repairing of the reservoirs.
3. We want a Forensic Audit of all Newark, New Jersey's Water Department finances and perpetual spending going back 15 years, including the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corp's spending; and Mayor Ras Baraka's 30% Water Bill increase in which the surplus collected was supposed to be used to fix the infrastructure of the city water system.
