The Coalition for Safe Drinking Water is a group of diverse individuals and organizations advocating for equitable access to safe drinking water for private well owners across Massachusetts.

Led by RCAP Solutions and The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts, the goal of this grassroots effort is to effect change by moving the state legislature to enable the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to enact sensible, health-based regulations for private wells and to offer financial resources for homeowners who discover contaminants in their well water.

Unlike with public water systems, there are currently no statewide regulations to ensure private well water is safe from contaminants like PFAS, arsenic, radon, and more. This problem can be solved, but it will take leadership from community advocates, non-profit organizations, legislators, and others.
