The City of Richmond, along with the province and the BC Water and Waste Association (BCWWA), is celebrating Drinking Water Week from May 4 to 10.
In a bid to raise awareness about B.C.'s water, they are asking people to "Get to know your H2O!" this week by taking time to learn more about water and how we can protect it.
The City of Richmond provides highquality, clean tap water to residents, said Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who encouraged more people to turn to tap water as their water of choice.
The City of Richmond said it has many water conservation programs and is asking residents to take part in initiatives such as the toilet rebate program, rain barrel program, single family and multi-family water meters, waterwise gardening workshops, the newlyimplemented clothes washer rebate program and more.
The city also installs tap water stations at city events and locations around the community to encourage more tap water use.
The city will have a display dedicated to the Drinking Water Week campaign at the Public Works Open House on Saturday, May 24 at the City Operations Yard, 5599 Lynas Lane.
