Posted by Staff on Sunday, May 5, 2024

The Village of Ada is joining communities across North America in celebrating Drinking Water Week, an annual observance led by the American Water Works Association. Taking place May 5-11 this year, Drinking Water Week serves to highlight the importance of safe drinking water and recognize the tireless efforts of water professionals who keep it flowing around the clock in our communities.

In honor of Drinking Water Week, the Village of Ada encourages everyone to hydrate as we approach summer. When outdoors, drink 1 cup (8 ounces) of water every 15–20 minutes to replenish your body and deter dehydration and heat stroke.
