 Clean water is the world’s most precious commodity. According to World Health Organization estimates as of June 2019, 785 million people lacked even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water.
Building, plumbing and green codes help guard our potable water for future generations through proper construction, conservation and safe disposal. Code officials are vigilant protectors of our water supply. Because of their dedicated service, you can turn on the tap in your home and draw sufficient, clean water.
It is important to understand where your water comes from and what's being done (and how you can help!) to protect the water you use every day.

The Memorial Day weekend is a busy time around the city of Treasure Island and on our waterways.
The Treasure Island Police Department recommends these tips for boaters:
-
Check equipment. Schedule a free vessel safety check with local law enforcement.
-
Wear a life jacket. Make sure everyone wears a life jacket – every time. A stowed life jacket is no use in an emergency.
-
Watch the weather. Always check the forecast before departing on the water and frequently during the excursion.
-
Know where you’re going and travel at safe speeds. Be familiar with the area, local boating speed zones and always travel at a safe speed.
-
Never boat under the influence. A BUI is involved in one-third of all recreational boating fatalities. Always designate a sober skipper.
-
Keep in touch. Have more than one communication device that works when wet. VHF radios, emergency locator beacons, satellite phones, and cell phones can all be important devices in an emergency.
-
Vessel Documentation. Your boat needs to have proper documentation and registration, just like your car. If you have just purchased a boat, it is essential to know that your boat needs a name and a hailing port. These must be printed per US Coast Guard standards. Your vessel identification number needs to be displayed on the side and rear of the boat. In addition to the federal requirements, all 50 states require a state validation sticker after the vessel number.
-
Visual Distress Signals (VDS). It's a good idea to have at least three different types of VDS on your boat at all times. This backup measure will help ensure rescue in the event of a failure.
