August is National Water Quality Month, an opportunity to appreciate that a lot of work goes into ensuring safe, great tasting tap water is there when we need it.

All of us are feeling the pinch, but for households near the poverty line, rising water bills can be devastating. Fortunately, there are conversations about creating a large-scale customer assistance program happening in the water sector.

Advocacy reports can help draw attention to the importance of protecting our drinking water sources and keeping water safe all the way to the tap. But that benefit is too often drowned out by the alarmist tone and the implication that your water is unsafe – even if the preponderance of evidence suggests otherwise.

This year's Drinking Water Week national artwork contest winner is Jackson Lee from Durham, North Carolina.

Last week an environmental advocacy organization called the Environmental Working Group (EWG), released an update to its “National Drinking Water Database”.

Congrats to the winner of AWWA's Drinking Water Week artwork contest - Ama Mensah-Boone from Durham, North Carolina.

As we are coasting into the warmer months of spring and summer, now is a good time to get some tips for keeping your lawn healthy and green without using a lot of water.

Each year, we choose at least one student's submitted artwork from our artwork contest to be featured in material for our annual Drinking Water Week campaign.
