Summary
Residents of Milton, Florida, ousted four city councilors who supported building a controversial sewage plant near the Blackwater River, a vital natural resource.
The grassroots-led Save Blackwater River campaign opposed the plant’s location on flood-prone wetlands, citing environmental risks and lack of public consultation.
The new councilors, elected on promises of transparency and responsible decision-making, must now address urgent wastewater issues, including replacing an outdated plant while avoiding further funding losses.
