ARTICLES - MAY 2009

May 3-9, 2009 is National Drinking Water Week

The City of Arlington, in partnership with the American Water Works Association, sponsors the annual celebration to increase public awareness of drinking water. The AWWA, with more than 60,000 members, is the oldest and largest nonprofit organization dedicated to safe water in North America.

In Arlington, the week includes a low-flow showerhead giveaway by the Arlington Water Utilities Department. Two hundred low-flow showerheads will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis. The department will also launch an educational video on the city’s web site and cable channel and publish its annual Water Quality Report to customers in the water bill.

Drinking Water Week is an opportunity for water professionals and the communities we serve to join together to highlight the vital role that water plays in our daily lives.
