Farmworkers and their families at the Los Banos Migrant Camp inMercedCounty
NEEDS YOUR HELP for SAFE DRINKING WATER!
Call Fish and Game today and tell them to allow the community to connect to the City water supply.

Fish and Game has refused to allow the community of farmworkers and children, including a Day Care, to connect to their water line that receives safe water from the City ofLos Banos. Every excuse that they have given has been mitigated and now they are just ignoring this community, their neighbors!

Even though they have some bottled water, the families are being forced to use the contaminated water bathe in and often to cook with or wash dishes or fruits and vegetables with water that is contaminate with Arsenic, Copper and Radionuclides. Kids and adults are getting rashes from this contaminated water. And now with the heat in full swing, many of their air coolers are failing because of the hard water that is causing them to break down. This would not happen with city water!

Help the community now by calling Fish and Game and telling them to be a good neighbor, and care not just about fish and wildlife, but about humans!
