Most of us take the water system that brings clean water to our homes and businesses for granted. We turn on the tap without thinking twice about where that water came from.  

What would you do without the safe, reliable water service you know and love so well? What does a day without water mean to you? What do you think about when you “Imagine a Day without Water?” 

Today, Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) is participating in the fourth-annual “Imagine a Day Without Water” Campaign -- a nationwide day of education and advocacy about the value of water. Led by the Value of  Water Campaign (#ValueWater), hundreds of organizations across the country will host events and spearhead projects aimed at raising awareness. 

In addition to the Mayoral Proclamation, which will be presented before today’s City Council meeting; we ask Cincinnatians to tell us what a day without water means to you?

About: 
Did you know that a single nationwide day without water service would put $43.5 billion of economic activity at risk? Or that in just eight days, a national water service stoppage would put millions of jobs in jeopardy. (http://imagineadaywithoutwater.org/) In short, a day without water is nothing short of a humanitarian, political, and economic crisis – literally un-imaginable to some.
