JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri will be celebrating clean water next month. Gov. Mike Parson recently signed a proclamation declaring Oct. 2022 as Clean Water Month in Missouri.
In the proclamation, the Gov. noted that Oct. 18 marks the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
The proclamation highlights that the Missouri Legislature acknowledged the importance of water protection by enacting the Missouri Clean Water Law in 1972 to establish authority for the Missouri Clean Water Commission to implement the Clean Water Act in Missouri.
Gov. Parson called upon all citizens of Missouri to join him in working together to appreciate and protect clean water as a vital resource for Missouri.
