Three cheers for safe, reliable, great-for-you tap water! May 7-13, 2023 is National Drinking Water Week, and our Hampton Roads tap water is definitely something to celebrate. The water that pours from our household taps with a convenient turn of a handle takes care of the little things in life like showers, cooking and morning coffee. But it’s so much more than that. Tap water is also the foundation for health care, fire protection and business throughout Hampton Roads. Water puts out fires, washes germs from our hands and powers business both small and large. Behind every drop of tap water is a group of dedicated engineers, lab technicians, construction workers and other utility staff who work 24/7 to provide Hampton Roads with this vital service. Our water in Hampton Roads is closely monitored and tested to the highest safety standards and comes to you at a fraction of the cost of bottled water (and without all the wasteful plastics).
To celebrate drinking water—and to help make sure Hampton Roads stays hydrated this summer—askHRgreen.org is giving away 10 of this season’s must-have water bottles – the Stanley tumbler!
