Today at Oswego East High School - DuPage Water Commission Chairman Jim Zay, The Board of Commissioners, and staff joined Illinois Section AWWA, American Water Works Association, and leaders from the WaterLink Communities - Village of Montgomery, IL, Village of Oswego, Illinois, and United City of Yorkville– to celebrate the groundbreaking of one of the largest municipal water infrastructure projects in Illinois in the last 30 years.

WaterLink is a major regional infrastructure partnership, formed to secure a sustainable, long-term drinking water supply for the rapidly growing communities of Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville due to declining aquifer levels in the region. This project will delivery Lake Michigan water to the WaterLink communities through a 30-mile pipeline extension connected to the existing DuPage Water Commission system.

We congratulate the WaterLink communities and all the dedicated individuals whose long-term planning has helped ensure a safe and reliable water supply for future generations.

And a big thank you to SCARCE for organizing such a wonderful event and for letting us participate.

🌍💧 Although 71% of the Earth is covered in water, only 3% of that is freshwater—and even less is readily available for us to use. That makes protecting our water supply not just important, but essential.

This Earth Day, DWC encourages everyone to think about the role water plays in your daily life and brainstorm simple changes you can make to help conserve it. Visit here for ideas on how you can conserve water at home! https://dpwc.org/conservation/

The DuPage Water Commission had an amazing time connecting with the 6th graders of Jay Stream Middle School in Carol Stream for Water Immersion Day. Together we explored water usage at home and brainstormed small changes we could make to our daily routine that can have a big impact.

The day was kicked off by Chairman Jim Zay and Mayor Frank Saverino, who gave opening remarks on where Carol Stream gets their water and the importance of water conservation.
Thank you to SCARCE for setting up this wonderful event and to the students of Jay Stream Middle School for being such an enthusiastic and thoughtful group - the future of water is in great hands! 💦 👏

This World Water Day, we highlight Water and Gender - recognizing the global inequalities tied to limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation. From collecting water to caring for family members impacted by waterborne illness, women and girls are disproportionately affected by water scarcity.
