River Reads: “Troubled Water” with special guest Seth Siegel

DATE

April 13th, 2022 | 2PM – 3PM

 

“Troubled Water: What’s Wrong with What We Drink” makes the startling – but true – statement that just because your drinking water meets all federal drinking water standards does not mean it is safe to drink. That is because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the government agency responsible for assuring the quality of our drinking water, has failed to keep up with contaminants found in what comes out of our taps. With thousands of chemicals in commerce getting into drinking water, only a few dozen are regulated by the EPA. Even more shocking, with potentially grievous consequences, not a single new contaminant has been singled out for EPA regulation in nearly 25 years

Our 2022 SWAN Book Club will be kicked off with this compelling read. Complete the book before our meeting and join us for a discussion. We will also be joined by author Seth Siegel for Q&A. If you need a copy of the book, please notify Event Coordinator, Allie, via email at allie@milwaukeeriverkeeper.org.
