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 coastal waters and our reefs are what make the Keys the Keys.

​

Marathon's shallow sewage wells:

​

  • Pollute our coastal 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 Marathon's decades-long non-compliance
    with federal and state water quality laws and consistent
    deteriorating water quality trends.

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