PETITION
​
Pollution Free is the way to be!
Stop Shallow Sewage Wells!
FDEP & EPA,

​

Please require the City of Marathon to use a deep well for disposal of sewage effluent.

​

Property values, our tourist industry, the health of all who use our nearshore waters are at risk. Our nearshore waters and our reefs are what make the Keys the Keys.

​

Marathon's shallow sewage wells:

​

  • Pollute our nearshore waters – the nursery for
    marine life.

  • Allow partially treated sewage effluent to travel
    through porous limestone to reach our coastal
    waters and reefs. 

  • Contribute to the deteriorating trends in Marathon's
    coastal waters, violating state water quality regulations
    and federal law.

  • Impact all of us in the Keys: "What happens in Marathon doesn't stay in Marathon!"

ABOUT US >

FOLKs is a group of concerned residents who want to preserve the low-density community character and improve the nearshore water quality of the Keys. We oppose adding 1300 more ROGOs (building allocations) because they undermine 30+ years of science-based and court-approved growth limitations for the Keys. Hurricane evacuation becomes more dangerous and everyday traffic unbearable. Our fragile environment cannot stand more development: the marine ecosystem is continuing to deteriorate even without additional development. We say NO to 1300 more ROGOs! And NO to shallow sewage wells!
