Protecting Our Water

“Water connects us all across neighborhoods, counties, and states. Water Stewardship for All

Generations is my promise to listen, to serve, and to work alongside our communities so that clean

water is not a privilege, but a right shared by everyone.” Shirl Hamilton

Who We Are - Citizens for Clean Water

Our Mission

Clean water is life. It connects our families, communities, and environment. As Commissioner for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, I will work to ensure safe, sustainable, and equitable water systems that protect every generation now and in the future. Together, we can safeguard our shared water resources and build stronger communities.
