However, according to the EPA, sewage overflows from our nation's crumbling sewer infrastructure systems dump nearly 860 billion gallons of sewage annually.

A Right to Know for Clean Waters is a campaign to tell Congress that the public has a right to be notified when sewage pours into our waterways.
