Freshwater works with elected officials and government leaders to promote sound public policy that protects and preserves lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers. As a nonpartisan science-based organization, we seek collaborative and lasting solutions to complex water issues.
Legislative Agenda
We are working on several priorities at the Minnesota Legislature this session, including:
- Smart design and development of new high-volume water users
- Water infrastructure funding
- Safe drinking water for private well owners
Current policy work
