You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

Aquifer Storage and Recovery, or ASR, is a risky scheme that can easily contaminate vital drinking water sources for hundreds of thousands of Georgians who rely on groundwater to drink.

Companies in Georgia are seeking the opportunity to inject treated wastewater and surface water into our aquifers. The General Assembly recognizes the risk that the injection of treated water poses and has twice placed a moratorium on this practice. However, the current moratorium is set to expire in December 2009.

On March 10, the House unanimously passed HB 552 to extend the moratorium on aquifer storage and recovery for five years. Now, the bill moves to the Senate. The Senate should pass HB 552 to protect Georgia's drinking water.

Send a message to your Senator asking them to protect Georgia's drinking water by voting YES on House Bill 552.

Your message will be sent to each of the following targets:

Your State Senator
