In observance of #LaborDay, our offices will be closed, but our Filter Plant Teams, along with our Water Quality, Maintenance, Security, Service, and Meter Departments are all still on the job to ensure a constant flow of clean, clear drinking water to our customers.

As we conclude #NationalWaterQualityMonth, rest assured that our dedication to excellence is as crystal clear as the water we provide.
This week for #NationalWaterQualityMonth, we're highlighting our EnviroLab. This is the largest certified laboratory operated by any public water system in Alabama.
It is equipped with state-of-the-art analytical equipment to perform chemical and microbiological tests required by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Each year, our highly-trained chemists and technicians test more than 100,000 samples from natural water sources, filter plants, and points throughout the distribution system.

On #InternationalYouthDay, we look back at our annual school program. While it was cut short due to the pandemic, we enjoyed having the opportunity to educate the youth of #bham regarding the importance of water for their health & hygiene.
Before the 20th century, water-borne illnesses claimed the lives of millions of people. Fortunately, the discovery of disease-causing bacteria ultimately led to the development of effective water treatment techniques. #NationalWaterQualityMonth
When you're deciding what to drink after a long day of fun in the sun, stay away from sugary beverages such as sodas and energy drinks as they actually cause more dehydration. To quench your thirst, always go for clean and clear water brought to you by BWWB! #HydratetheCity
Hello, Everyone! We hope you’re staying safe. #COVID19
We've come to the end of our #FixALeak Week Tips and were talking toilet flappers! Old, worn-out toilet flappers (e.g., valve seal) can cause leaks. Flappers are inexpensive rubber parts that can build up minerals or decay over time, but replacing them is a quick and easy fix!
To curb the community spread of COVID-19, we have not only closed our payment center (except drive-thru) and main office but also sent non-essential employees home temporarily. However, the continuous delivery of clean water to our customers will not be interrupted. Also, as a reminder, we recommend that customers opt to pay their bills online where possible. http://bwwb.org/paymybill
In the fall of 2019, we visited senior centers throughout the #Bham area and discussed a variety of topics including how water can improve health, differences between their water and sewer bill, and water conservation tips that help the environment and their bill.
With our 2020 budget, the #BWWB will be able to reduce our reliance on debt to fund necessary capital improvements, including the replacement of aging water mains. In doing so, BWWB will continue our mission to invest every cent in bringing safe and clean water to our customers.
