House File 2237: Tell Your Representative to Protect Iowa's Water from Toxic Coal Ash Pollution

Iowa’s communities and drinking water are at ongoing risk from toxic pollution caused by coal ash, a byproduct of burning coal for electricity. As MidAmerican Energy and Alliant Energy continue to generate coal ash at their Iowa plants, their discharge of wastewater containing coal ash leachate threatens public health and drinking water in nearby and downstream communities. Coal ash contains heavy metals including arsenic, mercury, lead, and cadmium, toxins that can cause serious health impacts, including cancers, even at low exposure levels. 

Ask your Iowa House member to support HF 2237 and safeguard lowans' drinking water and public health!
