Celebrating another year of protecting drinking water
June 4, 2026
Formed in 2018 with support from Riverkeeper, the Hudson 7 is a collaboration of the mid-Hudson municipalities and counties that draw drinking water from the Hudson River for more than 100,000 people. The Hudson 7 has helped shift the conversation around the river, putting drinking water quality front and center for communities across the region. The coalition continues to meet every month to protect and improve the water we depend on.
