LENEXA (Kan.) – Smith & Loveless Inc. proudly stands in solidarity with a diverse coalition of elected officials, water utilities, community leaders, educators, and businesses worldwide to participate in "Imagine a Day Without Water" on Oct. 21, 2020. This collective effort aims to raise awareness about the essential nature of our planet's most crucial resource: clean water.
"Guided by the mission of 'Protecting Water. Protecting People,' Smith & Loveless recognizes the significance of clean water in the lives of people globally," stated S&L President Frank Rebori. "We invite you to join us, acknowledging our privilege to have the infrastructure to treat and deliver clean water daily. This unique opportunity encourages self-reflection, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the true value of this essential human resource and the infrastructure that facilitates its supply."
Often, the simple acts of turning on the tap for safe drinking water, washing hands, or flushing a toilet occur without a second thought about their origins or destinations. However, the reality is that the U.S. water infrastructure enabling such convenience is aging and requires substantial investment. A single day without water service would disrupt our daily lives, jeopardize public health, and impact the economy significantly. The events on Oct. 21, under the "Imagine a Day Without Water" initiative, seek to deepen the collective understanding of these challenges.
"S&L takes pride in its longstanding collaborations with water and wastewater utilities, governments, engineering firms, and other industry leaders to address water infrastructure needs," Rebori emphasized. "It is crucial that we collectively invest in smart infrastructure to ensure the public health and economic security of all people."
