“Imagine a Day Without Water” Proclamation
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Proclaim that water is essential to our health, safety, environment, and economic prosperity; and recognize the importance of educating the public through “Imagine a Day Without Water” campaign on October 19, 2023.
Body
DISCUSSION:
Imagine a Day Without Water is a nationwide day of education and advocacy about the value of water organized by the US Water Alliance. The City of Napa is joining more than 1,000 organizations across the country in raising awareness about the crucial need for investment in our water systems. When a person doesn’t have water, they cannot stay hydrated, prepare meals, bathe their children, wash their hands, flush the toilet, or do laundry. Further, communities can’t put out the wildfires that increase each year because of the warming climate, farmers cannot water their crops, and our nation’s public health and safety are compromised. This proclamation highlights water’s critical role and the need for continued investment to ensure that it is available at all times for our residents, businesses, and visitors.
