Clean, safe water is essential to nearly

every aspect of life. To assure water is

available today and for future generations,

this valuable resource must be captured,

cleaned, distributed and recycled.

We are committed to optimizing

every drop, but we can’t do it alone.

collect, transport, and treat our water

and wastewater helps to secure our

quality of life today while protecting

future generations.

Let’s act now! Join us in being a part of

Thinking ahead. Our parents and

grandparents’ investment in water and

wastewater infrastructure during the last

century has protected public health for

many generations. In some communities,

pipes that were installed a century ago are

still in use today!

Now it’s our turn. We can protect the

health of our children and their children

by making essential investments to renew

our water and wastewater infrastructure.

Let’s act now! Join us in being a part of

the solution. Together, we can ensure

clean, safe water is accessible to everyone

in our community.

Did you know that every time you pay

your water and wastewater bill, you are

helping to protect the environment?

Your contributions allow us to clean and

recycle the water our community uses

so it can be safely returned to our rivers

and lakes. Paying your bill also helps fix

wasteful leaks and supports the essential

upgrades we need to keep our systems

reliable and efficient.

Whenever there is an interruption

in water or wastewater services, our

businesses suffer. Efficient, reliable

and modernized water infrastructure

is essential to a strong, stable and

growing economy.

If we make the necessary investments in

our nation’s community water systems,

we are not only protecting what we have

today but we stand to gain more than

$220 billion in annual economic activity

and create 1.3 million new jobs.
