Drinking Water Week 2026 ~ May 3 – 9
What Is Drinking Water Week?
For more than 40 years, the American Water Works Association and it’s members have used Drinking Water Week as a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives.
This annual observance led by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) serves to highlight the importance of healthy drinking water and recognize the tireless efforts of water professionals who keep it flowing around the clock in our communities.
