Green is not the only environmental colour out there.  What about BLUE?  Our water is important to us all!  Did you know that it is our most precious resource?  And the most effected part of our world to climate change?

2009 World Water Day is celebrated on March 22 and this years topic is Transboundry water.  Thinking locally, Peterborough gets our water from the Otonabee River.  So the residents of Peterborough should be pretty concerned about what happens to the water before it gets to the Peterborugh Utilities Water Treatment plant located at the Riverview Park and Zoo.  And when the City of Peterborough is done treating it on the waster water side, they put it back into the Otonabee River and it makes its way to other communities.

So don’t forget Peterborough Water Day on March 22!  On that day, you should think about where your water comes from each time you turn on your tap!

Cheers to our water!
