Fairfax Water invites you to join us in marking Imagine a Day Without Water on October 16—a national day of action that raises awareness about the essential role water plays in our lives, health, and economy.
Water is one of the most important ingredients in making homes, schools and businesses run smoothly. A day without water would bring life to a halt, disrupting public health services, emergency response, local businesses, and the foundational functions of society. This day is a chance to spotlight that story and show how each of us depends on something many of us often take for granted: clean, reliable water.
Here are a few ways you can get involved–and we hope you will!
- Take a virtual tour of your of Corbalis Water Treatment Plant
- Talk to kids about where water comes from and why it matters.
- Fix leaky faucets or toilets.
- Join or donate to a local watershed or river cleanup group.
- Plant native plants to reduce runoff and protect water quality. Check out our Wise Water Landscaping Guide to learn more.
- Avoid using harmful chemicals on lawns and gardens.
- Attend a local event or webinar about water infrastructure or source water protection.
- Contact local leaders to support investment in water infrastructure.
Water is essential for everything we do—from the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed. Imagine a Day Without Water reminds us not to take this vital resource for granted. At Fairfax Water, we work every day to ensure your water is clean, safe, and always there when you need it. But protecting our water future takes all of us. Whether it’s fixing a leak, learning more about your water system, or simply saying thank you to a water worker, your actions matter. Together, we can ensure that future generations never have to imagine a day without water.
