Sunrise Water is committed to increasing awareness of the impact and value of water.
Ongoing access to clean, safe water is critical to our economy, health and way of life. Our community depends on this valuable resource and the infrastructure that connects, protects and supports it.
Learn how the Value of Water affects the following:
A community without water?
Without access to a sustainable water supply, our community is at risk. Service disruptions for failing or inadequate water and wastewater infrastructure directly impacts medical facilities, schools, daycares, and firehouses, just to mention a few. Nearly every aspect of our lives is connected to water. Without clean water and clean water services, our lives would stop.
The true cost of water.
Water is free, but the collection, transport and treatment of drinking water and wastewater is not. Your water/wastewater bill ensures that you and your community have reliable access to clean, safe water.
Much of the water and wastewater infrastructure in the United States – more than 800,000 miles of drinking water pipe and 700,000 miles of wastewater pipes – is at a crisis point. By strategically investing in these systems, we are helping to maintain our quality of life and protecting our communities from public health and environmental concerns.
Tap water is a great value. Cost of tap water compared to bottled water.
Water at your tap costs less than a penny per gallon. Bottled water, on the other hand, is about $1 per 16 oz or $8 per gallon. By comparison, tap water is nearly 1,000 times less expensive. Moreover, tap water is regularly monitored for quality and safety. All of that protection is built into the cost. Tap water is a great value.
