Navigating Pennsylvania's Clean Water Priorities

Pennsylvania faces mounting clean water challenges, from aging infrastructure and lead pipes to polluted streams and stormwater runoff. To secure safe drinking water and healthy rivers for all, PennFuture and its partners have developed a legislative agenda that prioritizes investments in infrastructure, stronger stormwater management, and protecting our forests and farmlands from pollution.

The agenda calls on lawmakers to allocate dedicated funding to replace lead service lines, repair aging sewer systems, and upgrade stormwater infrastructure. It also includes measures to reduce agricultural runoff by supporting farmers who adopt conservation practices and to enhance protections for water quality in our state forests and parks.

This statewide water agenda offers a roadmap for lawmakers to ensure that every Pennsylvanian has access to safe, affordable water. Learn more about the proposals and join us in urging your legislators to support a comprehensive clean water investment plan.
