This year's <br />celebration will be May 7-13, 2023. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The mission of Elk River Municipal Utilities is to provide our customers with safe, reliable, cost- <br />effective, and quality long-term electric and water utility service. To communicate and educate <br />our customers in the use of utility services, programs, policies, and future plans. These products <br />and services will be provided in an environmentally and financially responsible manner. <br />Fulfilling that mission means a daily commitment to maintaining the systems that provide safe <br />and reliable water. A domestic water system and other urban services like wastewater and <br />electricity are the foundation of social and economic development. Our water system is an <br />important part of why our community is what it is today. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />• Resolution No. 23-3 —Recognizing Drinking Water Week 2023 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />2 <br />
