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!"
