Water is Worth It – Win with Water!

Public water professionals are public health professionals. Without clean water to drink, we cannot survive more than a few days. Without fire protection, property and people are endangered. After a century of hidden, uninterrupted, high-quality, and affordable service, public water has become an integral and constant part of daily life.

After reading some or all of this series, you know more about the diverse community of workers dedicated to keeping clean water in your tap to protect your health and cleaning wastewater to protect the environment. We hope this new knowledge motivates you to make water a more conscious part of your daily routine.

Anyone can help steward drinking water, from informed consumerism to local advocacy for source water sustainability. We are united by the water that covers roughly 70% of the Earth, as well as makes up a similar percentage of our bodies. Coincidence? We think not!

Water is fascinating, unifying, and indispensable. Coming together to be part of how we use water is a meaningful way to transcend personal barriers and social differences. Get to know the people that provide your water services and take time to appreciate and support public water services in your community.

 Win with Water! is an informational series to raise awareness and provide actionable steps to public water system managers, administrators, and policy makers.
