 The
American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the
water community today kicked off Drinking Water
Week 2013, which takes place May 5 through 11
across North America, by asking the question
“what do you know about H2O?"
Throughout the week, AWWA, the City of Bonners
Ferry and partners across the water community
will celebrate water by recognizing the
essential role drinking water plays in our daily
lives, with special attention on the ways in
which all water consumers can get to know their
H2O.
“Drinking Water Week provides an excellent time
to focus on the role we all play in
understanding and caring for our water supplies
and systems,” said AWWA Executive Director David
LaFrance. “Let’s use this opportunity to help
protect all of our communities’ health and
vitality by learning more about how we maintain
a safe and sustainable supply of drinking
water.”
To commemorate the occasion, water utilities,
environmental advocates and others will
celebrate drinking water through school events,
public presentations and community festivals.
They will also provide their communities with
important tips for protecting water quality
within our own homes and learning more about how
drinking water is regulated and delivered.
For more than 35 years, AWWA and its members
have celebrated Drinking Water Week – a unique
opportunity for both water professionals and the
communities they serve to join together to
recognize the vital role water plays in our
daily lives.
