Co-sponsor LRB 4367: Establishing private well owners’ Right to Know

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRB 4367, which is circulating for co-sponsorship.

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. LRB 4367 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 allow those people to be able to take proactive steps to protect their families from drinking contaminated drinking 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.
