American Water Works Association Announces the Start of Drinking Water Week, to “Celebrate the Essential.”

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) kicked off Drinking Water Week 2012 with a call to “Celebrate the Essential” throughout North America, according to a press release.

This is the 35th Annual Drinking Water Week celebration, and it is obviously hard to come up with original slogans, so “Celebrate the Essential” will have to do.

Throughout the week, AWWA and its partners will celebrate water by recognizing the essential role drinking water plays in our daily lives, with special attention to water infrastructure, the economy and careers in the water profession, stated the release.

“There is nothing more essential to a community’s health and vitality than reliable access to safe drinking water,” said AWWA Executive Director David LaFrance, stating the obvious.  “Drinking Water Week provides an excellent moment to focus on the importance of caring for our water supplies and systems.”
