EWEB and the American Water Works Association are observing Drinking Water Week by recognizing the vital role tap water plays in daily life, the infrastructure that is required to treat it and then distribute it to homes and businesses, and the important “behind the scenes” work of water professionals here in Eugene and throughout the country.
The consistent and reliable quality of drinking water is at the heart of the theme for this year’s Drinking Water Week, “There When You Need It” which runs May 3-9 this year. To celebrate our plentiful and healthy drinking water, we are sharing with customers our annual water quality report.
Their experiences may help others learn how to best prepare for a future emergency.
At the March 3 public meeting, EWEB’s Board of Commissioners hosted Bonneville Power Administration’s Elliot Mainzer.
