Public Sewage Treatment ▪clean▪ green ▪affordable

November 15 Vote for public sewage treatment.

On the reverse of the card: questions & statement for the Candidates:

- Ask if they believe that sewage treatment and related programs should be publicly controlled, managed and operated.

- Ask candidates if they will vote “no” to privatized sewage treatment for our communities.

- Tell candidates that sewage treatment is too important to give to private corporations.

Remember why we need sewage treatment in public hands;

- Accountability - to citizens not shareholders

- Affordability - private management usually leads to higher rates

- Public Health - private corporations often have a poor track record

- Local employment - private corporations often bring in outside contractors and cut maintenance staff to increase profits.
