Approval of and authorization to execute a Proclamation declaring the week of May 2 - 8, 2021, as Drinking Water Week in Broken Arrow
End
Background:
The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has designated May 2-8, 2021 as National Drinking Water Week. For more than 40 years, the AWWA and its members have celebrated this unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives, the infrastructure that is required to carry it to and from homes and businesses, and the important work of water professionals “behind the scenes.”
Whether it’s an operator ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water, a member of a construction crew repairing infrastructure, or an engineer designing a capital project, water professionals work around the clock to ensure tap water is there when you need it.
If approved, the attached proclamation will designate May 2-8, 2021 as Drinking Water Week in Broken Arrow. To commemorate the week, City staff will be encouraging consumers to learn more about the importance of water and water infrastructure, especially in times of crisis.
Staff recommends that the Council approve the proclamation and authorize its execution.
