Coalition Asks Water Users To Imagine "Day Without"

We expect water to come out of the faucet when we turn the handle. 

But the task of providing water gets harder in a drought, and our region has been living with drought conditions for several years. 

A national awareness campaign called "Imagine a Day Without Water" brings together a number of water agencies and interested groups to press the case for wise use and conservation this week (October 6-8). 

We get a visit from George Hawkins, who manages the vast water and sewer system in the District of Columbia.
