💧 Celebrating the Clean Water Act! 💧

Did you know the Clean Water Act was enacted on October 18, 1972 to help restore and maintain the quality of our nation's waters? 🇺🇸🌊

From the rivers and streams that flow through our communities to the lakes where we fish, boat, and make memories, clean water is essential to our health, our environment, and our quality of life.

Behind every clean stream and healthy waterway are dedicated professionals working every day to protect our water resources. Wastewater operators, engineers, scientists, and environmental professionals all play an important role in keeping our waters clean and our communities healthy.

💙 Clean water is everyone's responsibility!

Let's do our part by properly disposing of household chemicals, keeping litter out of storm drains, conserving water, and supporting efforts to protect our rivers, lakes, and streams.

Together, we can help ensure that future generations enjoy the benefits of clean water.
