Dear Friends,

Public hearings on the Falls Lake Rules will be held next week and we need your voice.

Come out and celebrate your right to clean water before celebrating Independence Day. These events are likely to have a lot of industry folks that want the rules to be unsuccessful in caring for this precious body of water, so we need your help. Hearings will be held in Durham and Raleigh and residents of all ages are encouraged to attend, so forward this message to a friend and ask them to join us too!

Which future do you want for Falls Lake?

We need people to stand up at these meetings and tell the State why you love Falls Lake and want it to be protected. The Neuse RIVERKEEPER® Foundation will be happy to provide talking points about the rules for those that want them, but it would help just as much for the State to hear stories about how you and your family have enjoyed Falls Lake and want it clean and safe for future use.
