Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger unifies and strengthens citizens working for a healthy and sustainable future for Wisconsin’s Badger Army Ammunition Plant. The group was organized in 1990 when the community learned that drinking water wells near Badger were polluted with cancer-causing chemicals. The founders believed that community involvement could have prevented this tragedy.
