Happy Wednesday #waterwarriors! Today, the team sat down with a fellow water warrior and concerned citizen from Jackson, MI, Del Esme. And we discussed the water affordability struggles in her town, recent rate increases have the residents worried about housing security. We will also get an update on the Superfund site right in her backyard: The Michner Plating property, and how it continues to contaminate the land and water.
