Cleaning Up Coal Ash and Power Plant Pollution

For decades the power plant industry enjoyed a free pass to dump unlimited amounts of dangerous chemicals directly into our surface water, including sources of water used for drinking. Clean Water Action is fighting to protect communities from toxic power plant water pollution.

Lead, unlike many other drinking water contaminants, is usually not present in the drinking water source, but rather results from the distribution system or on site plumbing itself.

Big Data Centers, Bigger Impacts

As demand for data centers continues to grow, increasingly massive data centers are being built across the United States, raising new concerns about water use, water pollution, electricity demand, climate change pollution, and other effects on surrounding communities. Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund are working with communities, experts, and policymakers to better understand these impacts and advocate for greater transparency, stronger environmental safeguards, and policies that protect clean water, public health, and the environment.
