When you turn on the faucet you expect water to come out, but on Thursday, Oct. 17, we’re asking you to ‘Imagine a Day Without Water.’ As part of a National Day of Action, DC Water is hosting a ‘Pop-Up’ event at Farragut Square to highlight the value of water. 

Water utilities across the country are participating in the campaign, now in its 10th year, to ask what’s your drop in the bucket? Stop by our pop-up event on Thursday to learn more about the value and safety of water with trivia, giveaways, and informational materials. Have your cell phones handy too for a picture with our beloved water mascot Wendy. 

We’ll have a board where you can add your drop in the bucket or tell us how you used water today.
