Drinking water week planned at Syracuse

I By GLEN LONG Staff Writer | Ron Conley, head of the Syracuse Water and Street Departments, has announced that Syracuse will participate in National Drinking Water Week from May 1-7. This is a nationwide observance designed to increase public understanding of water issues and remind people of the importance of good drinking water. “Most people take water pretty much for granted,” said Conley. “During National Drinking Water Week we’d like to promote a better understanding of all the things that happen to water between the time we get it from nature and the time the consumer runs it from the faucet at home. “As new federal drinking water regulations go into effect this year, the public needs to know more about the changes that will be rriade in such areas as the monitoring and testing of drinking water, higher drinking water standards, treatment requirements and public education. ' Tours of the water plant on Dolan Drive, with open house, will take place on May 3 and 4. The open house will include a display of old and new water equipment such as water meters, water pipe, fire hydrants, and the town's new meter reading system. A water conservation film will be shown at the town hall. 500 S. Huntington St. on May 3at7p.m. The second grade class at Syracuse Elementary School will be involved in a poster coloring contest, with the theme. "Water Fun For You." Five cash prizes of $5 each will be donated by Wawasee Service Center. The water conservation film will be

shown to the second graders who will receive handouts and hear a talk by Conley. Conley said that the average daily requirement for fresh water in the United States is estimated to be 338 billion gallons a day, according to the American Water Works Association.

Hughes and Sawyer agreed it is in the mutual interest of Syracuse and Dana for the check to apply to the new system. Hughes said, "We are using some of the funds to purchase a backhoe and the new sewer vacuum equipment which will help keep the new sewer system working efficiently. We wouldn’t have had this needed equipment without Dana.” ( Photo by Glen Long)
