ICC, NOWRA partner for clean water on World Water Day
Organizations seek opportunities to make safe, clean water a national priority
As World Water Day, March 22, aims to elevate the awareness and dialogue about the need for improved treatment of wastewater, members of the International Code Council and National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association enlist their ongoing support for efforts and events that demonstrate this year’s theme, ‘Why Waste Water?’
According to the World Water Day organization, there are more than 663 million people worldwide living without close and easy access to a clean and safe water supply for drinking, bathing, and cleaning. Further, most of the wastewater from residences and commercial facilities worldwide flow right back into the ecosystem — without being treated or reused.
