Understanding the Water Crisis in Dayville

Forever chemicals

Forever chemicals are commonly used in manufacturing processes. Things like non-stick coating typically use these compounds. They are called "forever" because they linger in the environment and our bodies.

Causes of the Water Crisis

We still do not know the source of the contamination. We are currently performing our own research, in parallel with efforts by the CT DEEP to investigate well contamination in our area.

Consequences of the Water Crisis

The consequences of the water crisis are dire. Lack of access to clean water leads to:

• Health Issues: Exposure to forever chemicals can cause cancer, immune problems, and fertility growth defects.

• Economic Impact: Communities without reliable water sources struggle to grow crops and sustain livelihoods. Anecdotally, several neighbors have had their gardens die from exposure to PFOA in hose water.

  
  
  
  

Dayville Clean Water's Mission

At Dayville Clean Water, our mission is to provide sustainable solutions to the water crisis. We focus on three main areas:

1. Clean Water Access

We advocate to establish clean water access.

2. Education and Awareness

Education is key to solving the water crisis. We conduct workshops and training sessions to raise awareness about water conservation and hygiene practices. Our educational programs focus on:

• Water Safety: Teaching communities how to purify water and recognize contaminants.

• Conservation Techniques: Encouraging practices that reduce water waste and promote sustainability.

  
  

3. Community Engagement

We believe that community involvement is crucial for the success of our initiatives. We engage local leaders and residents in the planning and implementation of projects. This ensures that our solutions are culturally appropriate and sustainable.
