WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: THEREFORE:
A PROCLAMATION
DRINKING WATER WEEK
The health, safety, and well-being of all Georgians are of utmost importance to the prosperity and livelihood of our state's families and communities. Georgia's streams, lakes, rivers, watersheds, and other clear water sources, must be protected to maintain the good health of our citizens as well as our wildlife and fishery populations; and
Water security is accomplished at multiple levels through protection of natural water resources, keeping drinking water supplies clean and safe, planning for adequate future water supply, water system fortification through improvements in operations, infrastructure and policy, and through physical protection of water treatment and distribution infrastructure; and
Protecting Georgia's natural water supply and other natural resources is crucial to the preservation of our environment and future generations of Georgians. It is the duty of all citizens to preserve our supply by not littering and obeying laws that are designed to protect Georgia's water supplies; and
The Georgia Rural Community Assistance Program aids communities in constructing and implementing water and wastewater systems. The Georgia Rural Water Association provides public education, training, and technical assistance to Georgia water systems which enables these systems to improve water security and increase public awareness of the importance of local water supplies and the need to keep them safe and secure; now
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim May 4-10, 2014, as DRINKING WATER WEEK in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 19th day of March in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen.
