Morrow County residents are seeking urgent help from state legislators after waiting over a year for a plan to lower the nitrate levels in the local drinking water.

Senior Organizer for Oregon Rural Action Nella Mae Parks says she helped Boardman residents travel to Salem to speak with legislative staff about the current issues in Morrow County.

Parks says the state is not taking the nitrate problem seriously.
