Clean Water
Combined sewer overflows, or C.S.O.s, are one of the most serious pollution problems facing the Great Lakes. These discharges force beach closures, prompt health advisories urging people to stay out of polluted rivers, harm wildlife and hurt tourism. Operation Clean Water published a report about E. Coli in our Beach Water (PDF).
