Drinking Water Week is May 1-7, 2022
PA-AWWA is kicking off Drinking Water Week by showcasing the different ways tap water is “There When You Need It.” Drinking Water Week is May 1-7 this year.
PA-AWWA is observing Drinking Water Week by recognizing the vital role
tap water plays in daily life, the infrastructure that is required to carry it to and from homes and businesses, and the critical work that water professionals accomplish around the clock to ensure the delivery of quality tap water.
“Tap water plays an integral role in meeting our daily health, hygiene and hydration needs,” said American Water Works Association CEO David LaFrance. “Water sector professionals, the infrastructure they work to design, create and maintain and the treatment process all work in harmony to ensure safe tap water is ‘There When You Need It.’”
To commemorate the week, water utilities, water organizations, government entities,
environmental advocates, schools and others throughout North America and beyond are
encouraging consumers to learn more about the importance of water services and water
infrastructure, especially in times of crisis.
