“WATER KEEPS LIFE FLOWING” ART CONTEST
We support young artists annually through our “Water Keeps Life Flowing” art contest, which focuses on the importance of reliable, safe water service. Each year 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-grade students draw pictures and write captions about what water service means to them. Winners receive a $100 gift card for their classrooms. 2021 Youth Art Contest Winners can be found on our Facebook page @ilamwater - Photos.

Water and You: Water Cycle
Our earth's water goes around and around. We call this the "water cycle." The water cycle moves water from the earth to the air and back to the earth again.
The Value of Water:
Water is essential to life! We invest in our systems to ensure high-quality reliable service to our customers for today and in the future.
Water Conservation:
We use water every day. We use it to bathe, cook, clean, drink and have fun! Water is a precious resource. Use it wisely.
Water and You: Water Treatment
Our water experts test and monitor water throughout the treatment process. We often provide water service that is better than what the government requires.
Plant to Tap:
We treat and deliver a reliable supply of drinking water to customers 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year!
