Drinking From The Tap

 

The City of Santa Ana has a long history of environmental stewardship and commitment to the health and quality of life of its community. Recently, city council adopted a resolution that underscores this commitment by improving access to healthy beverage options and encouraging the use of tap water at all public facilities, venues, and community events.

FACT: Did you know that sugar-sweetened beverages are among the main culprits contributing to the current obesity epidemic in America? That’s why drinking water is a healthier beverage choice and it’s also been medically proven to increase your overall health.

The City adopted this resolution, recognizing that drinking tap water over bottled water is proven to be more affordable, safer, and better for the environment. You can read about how tap water can save you money and the environment here. 

You’ll be seeing the Water Resources Division at more community events distributing Santa Ana’s award winning tap water. At these community events, with few exceptions, outside vendors will be prohibited from selling bottled water while residents will be encouraged to bring reusable bottles of water or other healthy beverages.
