Resolution Recognizing 2023 Drinking Water Week
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution 23-3 Recognizing Drinking Water Week, May 7-13, 2023
BACKGROUND:
Drinking Water Week is an annual celebration organized by the American Water Works
Association and its members. It is intended to raise awareness of the critical role that safe,
sustainable, and affordable drinking water plays in our daily lives. Drinking Water Week is a
chance for everyone to appreciate water as a finite resource that requires dedicated
individuals, running well -maintained systems, to make it safe and easily available. This year's
celebration will be May 7-13, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The mission of Elk River Municipal Utilities is to provide our customers with safe, reliable, cost-
effective, and quality long-term electric and water utility service. To communicate and educate
our customers in the use of utility services, programs, policies, and future plans. These products
and services will be provided in an environmentally and financially responsible manner.
Fulfilling that mission means a daily commitment to maintaining the systems that provide safe
and reliable water. A domestic water system and other urban services like wastewater and
electricity are the foundation of social and economic development. Our water system is an
important part of why our community is what it is today.
