Drink in the Science of Groundwater
Most of us don't give much thought to how clean, reliable, and safe Redmond's drinking water really is. However, water quality continues to rank as our community’s number one priority, and maintaining our level of excellence is one of the City’s top responsibilities. In this month’s Our Stories Redmond Connections video, Mayor Birney dives into the topic of drinking water with Redmond Public Works staff to examine how the City carries out this enormous responsibility.
