The best way to assure we have high quality drinking water at the tap is to protect our beautiful water sources. If we keep our rivers, lakes and underground wells free from pollution, it's easier and less expensive to keep water safe and healthy. AWWA invites water utilities, Sections and other partners to join the Association in recognizing Source Water Protection Week from Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 2024.
