Delaware has a wastewater crisis and no infrastructure in place to alleviate the problem, especially the increasing nitrates levels throughout the statewide water systems.
And never mind the ongoing threat to potable water from private wells and municipal draws from aquifers. I look to those First State citizens who are leading the charge with petitions, rallies and communication aimed at elected officials.
Bone up on the data and participate as you are able and, yes, help all of Delaware work toward full funding for the needed infrastructure that has for so long been ignored (largely nonexistent).
