May

Water Week
First full week in May

Water is precious. Water is the one resource on which our very lives depend. Yet, water is often taken for granted. In recognition of water's life-sustaining impact, New Jersey American Water Company celebrates National Water Week each year. Held the first full week in May, this national celebration helps to educate the public on the value of quality tap water and the services we provide.

Highlights of our New Jersey American Water's Watershed Month and Water Week activities include:

• the offering of school and community education programs on the value of water. Education makes us all better stewards of this remarkable resource. If your school or group is interested in having a speaker come and talk about your water, contact our customer service center at 1-800-652-6987.
• the presentation of a host of region-specific activities and special events to reach people of all ages concerned with environmentalism and wiser water usage. These activities may include watershed cleanups, speaking engagements and more.
