The week of 6-12 May is being observed as Drinking Water Week 2012. The American Water Works Association has stated that “A safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. It creates jobs, attracts industry and investment, and provides for the health and welfare of citizens in ways ranging from disease prevention to fire suppression. We often take water supply for granted until it is threatened, either by drought, water main breaks, or some other event.” Drinking Water Week is designed as an opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join together to recognize the vital role water plays in their daily lives.
