It is easy for us to take the quality of our drinking water for granted — when we turn on the tap, we expect safe, pleasant-tasting water to flow out. Long before water reaches our tap, carefully managed systems are in place protecting our water and making it safe to drink, from the water falling as rain to the point when it reaches our tap.

Safe water is essential to sustain life — we all have a responsibility to make every effort to ensure the quality of our drinking water.

Water is essential for life. Our health depends on having an adequate supply of safe water — every day.

It is important that we all take responsibility for the management of our water resources and work together with those responsible for the provision of drinking water to ensure its use is sustainable.

Water is important; let’s work together to maintain this precious resource!
