| Phoenix Water Celebrates Thank a Water Worker Day on September 23 | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/water-services/1519 | Water Services | | 9/21/2020 11:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/1519/Newsroom_Water039.jpg | | Phoenix Water Celebrates Thank a Water Worker Day on September 23 | <div class="ExternalClassE5C0E0B1C6604ABBA6126F71817F5DB9"><html>
Phoenix Water will observe the statewide campaign Thank a Water Worker Day on September 23 to salute the heroic service water workers provide. During a time when millions of Americans were under a stay-at-home order, thousands of water employees in Arizona continued to leave their homes to carry out the essential work that communities can’t live without.
<br>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>This is the inaugural event in which Thank a Water Worker Day will celebrate essential water workers across the state, is to honor the employees who provide the most valuable asset—water. </div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>“Water and wastewater services are essential and fundamental aspects of a healthy and safe community. Like many critical professionals our Water Department employees are skilled experts who carry out their duties, largely invisible, even during a global pandemic. Their tireless work ensures that the basic infrastructure of or city including public health, public safety, the economy, education, transportation and environmental protection is seamlessly supported. They don’t think of themselves as heroes and don’t seek grand recognition but they deserve our appreciation, and we thank each of them,” said Councilwoman Thelda Williams who chairs the Transportation, Infrastructure and Innovation Subcommittee.<br></div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>This statewide event is intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of water and wastewater services. On this day, we will also educate residents on the benefits of clean, reliable and affordable water services. <br></div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Let’s say thank you to water heroes! Participating cities and organizations include: Avondale, Chandler, El Mirage, Flagstaff, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Surprise, Tucson, AMWUA, AZ Water Association, and EPCOR, Water Use it Wisely </div>
