In recognition of Imagine a Day Without Water on October 20, Warren Water is joining the Value of Water Coalition and asking our community to consider the impact of living without quality tap water, our most precious resource.

As the community considers the impact of living without water, Warren Water invite ages 5-18 to participate in the second annual art contest. The contest will be divided into four age divisions and within each age division visa gift cards will be given to first, second and third place winners. Winning pieces will be featured in our lobby and posted on social media. The deadline is November 4 for entry submission.  All details can be found at www.warrenwater.com.

The Value of Water Coalition is dedicated to educating and inspiring the nation on how water is essential and invaluable and therefore, needs investment.  The Kentucky Water Resources Board was created during the 2016 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. The board was formed to provide state regulators with recommendations on water use efficiency, as well as develop a water conservation strategy for the state’s agricultural sector.

Kentucky Rural Water Association Executive Director Scott Young shared, “It is critical and more evident with the pandemic that our water resources continue to be a focus across the state.  Kentucky Rural Water Association partners with water and wastewater utilities across the state to help them protect and manage this valuable resource. We continue to make great strides.” 

“Warren Water is honored to join the Value of Water Coalition and Kentucky’s Water Resources Board and hundreds of other organizations around the country who are participating in the eighth annual Imagine a Day Without Water,” stated Jacob Cuarta, WCWD general manager. “We look forward to engaging our youth with the art contest and bringing awareness to the importance of water. This is a great way to continue the conversation about our most precious resource. A day without water would be a public health and safety crisis. The fight against any virus would seem impossible.”
