Celebrating Drinking Water Week May 4-10

For more than 40 years, the American Water Works Association and its members have used Drinking Water Week in May to turn attention to the vital role water plays in our daily lives. To celebrate the week, water utilities, organizations, government entities, advocates, schools and others throughout North America help consumers understand how water is protected, cleaned and delivered.

The City of Bloomington recognizes that high-quality drinking water is not only essential for public health but also for overall community well-being and economic growth. Safe water supports businesses and institutions, strengthens schools and healthcare systems, and enhances quality of life.

In late 2024, the City of Bloomington was awarded “Best in Glass” in a tap water taste test hosted by the Minnesota section of the American Water Works Association. This marks the third time Bloomington has been recognized for providing the best tasting tap water in the state.

Watch for the results when Bloomington, representing the state of Minnesota, heads to Denver, Colorado for the national competition and conference in June.
