Drinking Water Week 2009!

Monday, May 4, 2009 -Happy Drinking Water Week everyone!

May 3 through May 9, 2009 in Drinking Water Week in the United States. During this week, MPS asks you, "What can your water do?"

Water can:

• Clean your dishes
• Keep your car clean
• Fight fires
• Wash clothes
• Help your plants grow
• and Keep you healthy

Tap water is the lifeblood of our communities. Think about it, our tap water sustains us. It provides health protection, fire protection, support for our economy, and the high-quality of life we enjoy. There are no daily trips to the town well to gather water; water is simply delivered to our homes and is available every time we turn on a faucet. Most measures of a successful society (low mortality rates, economic growth and diversity, productivity, and public safety) are in some way related to access to safe water.

This week, as you use your tap water, MPS asks you to think about what a marvel it is to have this resource available, and we ask you celebrate what only tap water can deliver.
