SERCAP's Annual Fund: Clean Water Should Never Depend on Your Zip-code
Most of us turn on the faucet without giving it a second thought. We trust that the water will be clean, the plumbing will work, and that our toilets will flush. However, for many individuals and families in rural communities across the Southeast United States, this reliable access to water and wastewater facilities is not a guarantee. Aging water systems, failing septic systems, sub-standard housing, and limited local resources can put both public and environmental health at risk. Rural communities often know what needs to be improved, but lack the funding, technical knowledge, and/or capacity to complete necessary improvement projects on their own.
SERCAP's Annual Fund provides resources (training, technical, and financial) which assist both rural communities and low-to-moderate income (LMI) individuals with water/wastewater infrastructure projects, community and economic development projects, and other critical services as determined by the community's and/or individual's need. These resources:
- contribute to improved environmental health for both communities and individuals,
- increase community and individual economic self-sufficiency through increased income potential, and
- provide support to economically-challenged communities through self-help projects.
Your gift to SERCAP's Annual Fund will help bring the most basic of resources: reliable access to clean, safe drinking water and environmentally sound wastewater facilities to individuals and communities throughout the Southeastern United States!
