Imagine A Day Without Water

The City of Napa recognized "Imagine a Day Without Water" on Thursday, October 21st! Here are some not-so-fun facts about the importance of investing in reliable water infrastructure:

??1/5 of the United States economy would come to a halt without reliable water infrastructure
??61% of Americans rely on lakes, rivers, and streams as their source of drinking water
??2 million Americans are living without access to drinking water and waste-water service each day

We are so grateful that we have been able to support our community in Napa to provide clean and reliable water, made possible by our commitment to continued investment in water infrastructure. Join us in recognizing the importance of these investments!
