Meet the newest member of the askHRgreen.org team! Our water drop friend came to us without a name. But during Drinking Water Week we played the “name game” with you all on social media and arrived at the perfect name. Please allow us to introduce to you…..Hydro Joe!

Hydro Joe is ready to champion all things water in Hampton Roads. Like the importance of high quality drinking water to our quality of life, finding and fixing household leaks, and preventing pollution in local waterways. Hydro Joe’s naming contest was part of national Drinking Water Week, celebrated by water utilities across the U.S. during the first week of May. Clean, drinkable water powers everything we do. From our morning coffee to every twist of the tap. Every day Hampton Roads depends on a complex network of underground pipes and hundreds of water professionals to deliver water to our homes and businesses. And unfortunately, out of sight often means out of mind. Hydro Joe’s mission is to encourage the community to reflect on the importance our region’s drinking water and take steps to keep waterways clean.

Be on the lookout for Hydro Joe at events and happenings across the region this summer and fall. He can’t wait to meet you!
