Protest sewage injection into aquifer

From Save our Aquifer:

Dear friends and families,

Here is your chance to participate in a public demonstration! Wednesday, March 4, 2009, participants will be gathering on the sidewalk on the northeast corner of Barton Ave. and Huntington Lane (Rockledge City Hall) to show their concerns and objections to the City's plan to annually inject 180 million gallons of partially treated sewage into the Floridan aquifer, the purest aquifer in Floridan. It is called the Underground Source of Drinking Water (USDW) by State and Federal agencies. It is the aquifer our drinking water comes from.

Once this underground source of drinking water is contaminated with partially treated sewage from the Rockledge Sewage Treatment Plant it will be permanently contaminated with carcinogens, heavy metals, toxic chemicals pharmaceuticals, etc,, and this valuable and viable resource would be lost forever.

Demonstration signs will be made in advance for participants to hold or you may create and bring your own.
Bring your family, friends and neighbors to this important community demonstration.

The right to clean drinking water, and a healthy coastal ecosystem are basic needs. We can not allow the City of Rockledge to take these basic needs away from us, impact our property values, and take away our rights to clean, safe water.

Please plan to attend this important community demonstration asking our local officials to stop this dangerous plan and "Keep Sewage Out!"

Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2009
Time: 5:00 p.m. until dusk
Location: Rockledge City Hall, 1600 Huntington Lane, demonstrators will gather on the corner of Barton Avenue and Huntington Lane
