Drinking Water Quality Communication Toolkit
As a professional in providing clean drinking water, you have an opportunity to:
- Change the perception of drinking water
- Build meaningful relationships with
your customers - Increase trust in drinking water
The purpose of this Toolkit is to help you communicate about water quality in a proactive, radically accessible way, so that all the people in your community become aware of their water quality and what your utility does every day, week, month, and year to ensure it.
Not every utility has the capacity to do everything, but we hope this Toolkit provides ideas for you to pick and choose what fits your budget, resource capacity, and needs.
