Drinking Water Week
Drinking Water Week is an opportunity recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives and is celebrated each year during the first full week of May.
The Department of Natural Resources celebrates Drinking Water Week by holding a poster contest in conjunction with the Missouri chapter of the American Water Works Association. The contest was open to all Missouri students in the fifth grade.
A safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. The department helps ensure Missourians receive safe drinking water by assisting public water systems in compliance with safe drinking water laws and regulations.
