CNOW for Jan. 6, 2026

Today's conservation notices:

• Support AB 635: The Water Pollution Notification Act

  ---

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support AB 635, which is before the Assembly Environment Committee on Thursday. 

Wisconsin families have a right to know if their drinking water might be contaminated. The one third of Wisconsinites who rely on private wells are rarely notified about nearby contamination. AB 635 would require the DNR to notify local health officials when they’ve identified groundwater contamination, giving those local health officials the tools they need to notify impacted people. This would ensure impacted people can take proactive steps to protect their families from drinking contaminated water.

Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.
