Coal Grove Water Crisis

Coal Grove Water Crisis
Why this petition matters
Residents of the Village of Coal Grove, Ohio demand clean water! Villagers of Coal Grove, Ohio have suffered long enough from the contaminated water! When will the council replace the water system so it can stop harming the residents?
Research shows that the water has 18 different chemicals some in which cause harm to living beings. When ingested, these chemicals can cause major health issues such as cancer, kidney damage, etc. One of the chemicals was banned in 1977 by the FDA, but yet it continues to be in the water of this small village. Residents are aware that the water is “not good” but only because of it’s brown color.
Officials have never even made a statement warning the residents of the harm their water may cause. The city continues to collect water bill payments, but does nothing to improve the water that is actively unsafe for use. The village needs to be informed on the risks of using this water, and action needs to be taken to fix this problem!
