Celebrate Drinking Water Week

This year’s Drinking Water Week is this week from May 4th to May 10th, 2025! During the week, organizations like the American Water Works Association (AWWA) use the occasion to bring together drinking water professionals and highlight the critical role that drinking water infrastructure plays in our daily lives.

Drinking Water Week has been celebrated for almost forty years. In 1988, AWWA, the League of Women Voters, the Environmental Protection Agency, and ASDWA came together to draw more attention to both the occasion and the key role of drinking water to the federal government. President Ronald Reagan then signed a joint resolution from Congress naming the first week in May as Drinking Water Week.
