Our Message to the Montgomery County Council ‐‐ Contact councilmembers now and tell them:

  • I drink water and I vote.
  • Save, don’t pave, Ten Mile Creek: I want full protection for our last, best creek.
  • Ten Mile Creek is the cleanest source of water to our region’s only nearby emergency drinking water supply – Little Seneca Reservoir, which scientists say will be needed more often in the future due to increased droughts.
  • Please let me know how you plan to vote on the Ten Mile Creek Limited Amendment.

Swing Votes on the Council: emails are especially needed to be sent to:
