The Water You Use

We all use water every day, to drink, water our plants, and flush our toilets.

First, we collect water from a source like a river, creek, or stream. Then the water is treated to be used in homes or businesses. Our region's drinking water is regularly checked to make sure it is safe to use. After use, the water is recollected and cleaned before being returned to its source.

There is only one water, and it's ours to protect. The water we drink, the water we play in, the water we flush … it's all one water.
