An action alert on high capacity wells in Wisconsin. Contact your Assembly representative by Tuesday morning. STATEWIDE - SB76 (and companion bill AB105) allows currently existing High-Capacity Wells to be repaired, reconstructed, replaced or transferred without further permit review for cumulative effects on the aquifer. In certain parts of the state there are already lowered stream and lake levels from withdrawals. This bill is a license to withdraw large amounts of water and this license never expires! **** Thanks to LWV Milwaukee County for drafting this action alert! |
