Water. It’s the invisible thread that weaves together our daily lives. We often take it for granted and we easily forget that there is simply no substitute for water. Although Americans consume a lot of water, few people realize what is required to treat and deliver water every day or how wastewater is cleaned so that it can be safely reused or returned to the environment. Water service provides the foundation for the health and safety of our families and the economic prosperity of our communities. It truly does touch everything we care about.
