Drinking Water Week 2022

May 2, 2022
Drinking Water Week Logo May 1-7, 2022

Drinking Water Week is May 1-7 this year. Fairfax Water is observing Drinking Water Week by recognizing the vital role tap water plays in daily life, the infrastructure required to carry it to and from homes and businesses, and the critical work that water professionals accomplish around the clock to ensure the delivery of quality tap water. “At Fairfax Water, we are committed to being there when you need it," said Fairfax Water General Manager Jamie Hedges. "Drinking Water Week is a great time to celebrate this commitment and give thanks to all of our dedicated employees who work 24/7/365 to make it happen." 

For several decades, AWWA and its members have celebrated Drinking Water Week, a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join together in recognizing the vital role water plays in daily lives. “Tap water plays an integral role in meeting our daily health, hygiene, and hydration needs,” said American Water Works Association CEO David LaFrance. “Water sector professionals, the infrastructure they work to design, create and maintain and the treatment process all work in harmony to ensure safe tap water is ‘There When You Need It.’”

To commemorate the week, water utilities, water organizations, government entities, environmental advocates, schools, and others throughout North America and beyond encourage consumers to learn more about the importance of water services and water infrastructure, especially in times of crisis.
