A safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. It creates jobs, attracts industry and investment, and provides for the health and welfare of citizens in ways ranging from disease prevention to fire suppression.
We often take our water supply for granted until it is threatened, either by drought, water main breaks, or some other event.
As part of National Drinking Water week, MLGW employees will be able to Dunk One for Plus-1 all week long. President and CEO Jerry Collins and other MLGW executives will get into a dunk tank and employees, for a $1 a throw, will have a chance to drop them in a tank full of Memphis water.
Mr. Collins will kick off the week at the MLGW Administration Building, 220 South Main Monday, May 5 from noon to 1:30 p.m. The dunk tank will move to various MLGW locations throughout the week.
“All Memphians know that our water is some of the best tasting in the world. We set aside this week to celebrate this resource while at the same time recognizing that there are some in our community who need assistance to pay their utility bill,” Collins said.
...and have a little fun, I might add! Stay tuned for pictures!
