Action Alert: It's time to #FixthePipesMN [CLOSED]

We believe that every Minnesotan deserves access to clean, safe drinking water and healthy surface waters.

That is why FMR, along with our friends in the brand-new Fix the Pipes Alliance, are joining forces to ask Minnesota lawmakers to #FixthePipesMN and invest at least $300 million to replace and improve aging water infrastructure this session.

This vital package will protect public health, provide clean drinking water, mitigate flooding and reduce pollution and untreated sewage from entering rivers, ponds and lakes across Minnesota.

It will also help restart Minnesota’s COVID-19-ravaged economy by creating an estimated 7,200 jobs statewide with more than $1.8 billion in total economic impact.

For our environment and our economy, please take a moment to ask your legislators to #FixthePipesMN.

This Action Alert is no longer available. Sign up to be a River Guardian and we'll keep you updated when the river needs your voice. Visit our Legislative Blog to learn about similar issues and follow the 2020 legislative session.
