Do you know
how often you
turn me on?
If only the water faucet could talk to
us. It might remind us how often we
turn to it for safe water to drink, to
wash our clothes, to prepare our food
and to provide us with the everyday
quality of life we enjoy. It might
remind us that the water pipes below
our streets make so many everyday
conveniences possible.
Our water bills pay to keep our
community tap water safe, reliable
and there for us — 24 / 7 without
fail. For more information about
what your tap water delivers, visit
