2022 Indiana Legislative Update |
The 2022 Legislative session is now over. There will be some Study Committees meeting in the upcoming months. The key pieces that could affect our water/wastewater industry are:
|
|
|
|
-
Drinking Water Week (5/1 - 5/7): Drinking Water Week is an annual observance sponsored by the American Water Works Association to recognize the critical role drinking water plays in our daily lives. This year’s theme, “There When You Need It,” highlights the work water professionals do around the clock to ensure high-quality drinking water is always available at your tap, whenever you need it. Fun Fact: In 1908, Jersey City was the first city in the U.S. to start the practice of routine disinfection of community drinking water.
-
Public Works Week (5/15 - 5/21): The American Public Works Association picked "Ready & Resilient" as the theme for the 2022 National Public Works Week. Superheroes lie within each and every public works professional...always READY to serve their communities, and RESILIENT as ever in their abilities to pick themselves up off the ground after encountering challenges.
-
Infrastructure Week (5/16-5/20): Join your efforts with others across the country to elevate infrastructure as a critical issue impacting all Americans. Imagine the state our economy, environment, and health would be in without the infrastructure that supplies us with clean water. Encourage your customers and citizens to contact their legislatures to support infrastructure funding.
-
Water a Flower Day (5/30): This day reminds people to water their flowers, but you can also use it as a day to remind people to get their sprinkler systems ready for the summer months by checking for leaks and installing rain sensors. Better yet, let's promote the use of rain barrels!
