Fort Collins Utilities Observes National Drinking Water Week, May 6-12
Released on Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
The safety, quality and reliability of local drinking water are priorities for Fort Collins Utilities. Drinking Water Week, May 6-12, provides the opportunity to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives and to thank the many behind-the-scenes employees who work year-round to ensure our community’s water remains safe, tastes good and is there when needed.
Drinking Water Week highlights the importance of a safe, reliable water supply to our overall quality of life—from public health protection and fire suppression to the critical role it plays in supporting the economy.
Utilities has received the Directors Award of Recognition from the Partnership for Safe Water for 13 years, a direct result of plant operations and maintenance workers who make local drinking water quality our mission. This is an achievement only 101 water plants in the U.S. have accomplished. The Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages members to increase water quality and safety standards and provide drinking water that surpasses federal requirements.
To further promote all things water, Utilities has joined the statewide effort to make 2012 the Year of Water with year-long celebrations, including the Big Splash Open House, Sat., July 14, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Water Works, 2005 N. Overland Tr. This event is open to the public and will honor the 130th anniversary of the Water Utility with a tour of the original 1882 Water Works facility.
