Every time you turn on your sink or take a shower it is easy to forget the steps and processes in place to deliver safe, clean drinking water to your home.

To make sure there is the same accessibility to fresh water resources in the future, we need to make water conservation an important part of our daily lives today!

Fresh Water Resources

Although water covers 75% of the earths surface, available fresh water accounts for only 3% of the total global water supply.  

  • Canadians are second only to Americans in the total amount of water used by individual residents.
  • An average Canadian resident uses enough water per year to fill 2 full size swimming pools.
