Clean Water Action is recognizing the people and organizations who have made choices that have prevented pollution from entering our environment. Some actions are big, some are small, but all of them matter.

Clean Water Action works to ensure access safe, affordable source of drinking water now, and for future generations for everyone, and that our water resources are protected. Too often that means fighting to hold polluters accountable for cleaning up their mess, but we know that ultimately, the best way to fight pollution is to prevent it at the source. The more pollution we prevent, the less we have to clean up.

The agency also commits to improving analytical methods and to increased monitoring for more PFAS chemicals in drinking water.
