Water Day at the Capital - March 8th 1pm

For those that are concerned about the declining water quality in BR....

As of now, the aquifer from where our water comes, is not being managed in a sustainable way, and conditions of the aquifer have been deteriorating for the past several generations. State regulators have known about this for over fifty years and have taken no action to save our precious natural resource. Activists have prevailed during the past two years in having the State Commissioner of Conservation declaring that the aquifer is being pumped in a non- sustainable manner.

Industry, north of Baton Rouge, on the Mississippi River has been pumping 80 million gallons of our fresh drinking water per day, every day, 365 days per year. They could get water from the Mississippi River just as does industry below Baton Rouge. To this point North Baton Rouge Industry has not been willing to change and extend the life of fresh drinking water for future generations.
