Maine DWP Update: Drinking Water Week 2025

 

Drinking Water Week

May 4-10, 2025

 

Drinking Water Week is a nationwide initiative focused on raising awareness about the vital role safe, reliable drinking water plays in our lives and communities.  The week encourages Water providers, from the smallest very small water system to the largest water utility, to use this opportunity to connect with their consumers, so people can learn more about the water they use daily, its source, and the efforts involved in ensuring its safety and accessibility.

It also serves as a time to appreciate Maine's water professionals and recognize the importance of the work they do.

This Drinking Water Week, the DWP sends a big shout-out to the dedicated men and women who ensure Mainers have clean, safe drinking water: Thank you!  Your tireless efforts, from the initial treatment to the final delivery, are invaluable to our communities.  Your expertise and commitment make it possible for us to enjoy this essential resource with peace of mind, and we are grateful for your service.

The importance of clean drinking water cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the health and survival of individuals and communities.  It's an essential ingredient in life, from personal hygiene to agriculture and sanitation, playing a crucial role in public health and economic development.

We deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication of drinking water professionals across our state – the unsung heroes ensuring our access to clean, safe water.  Your expertise in water treatment, distribution, and management is vital for public health and well-being.  Your commitment to providing a reliable and safe drinking water supply deserves our gratitude and support, as you play a crucial role in building healthy and thriving communities.
