Why this petition matters

Started by Concerned Citizens of Montauk

Everything that Montauk stands for is inextricably linked to water.  Fishing, surfing, boating, and swimming - they all require clean water.  But Montauk’s ground and surface waters are threatened by pollution.  Whether it is from inadequately treated wastewater, or the use of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals, these compounds find their way into our waters and impede the safety, enjoyment and beauty of Montauk’s waters.

Everyone contributes to the problem, but more importantly, we all have a role to play in the solution.  Government, businesses, homeowners, and visitors all have a responsibility here:

  • Upgrade your current septic system to one that is designed to treat for and reduce nitrogen
  • Support local efforts to bring community wastewater treatment to vulnerable areas
  • Limit the impacts of stormwater runoff by aiding in the restoration of native wetland areas, stopping the use of harmful chemicals, and picking up after your pet

Join CCOM in our efforts to bring about change.  Sign this petition and demand we hold ourselves accountable for taking action to SAVE MONTAUK'S WATERS!  To learn more about what YOU can do to, please visit our SAVE MONTAUK'S WATER page.
