Documentary Raises Awareness of Water Infrastructure in the U.S.

A 90-minute documentary is raising awareness about water and what cities and towns across the U.S. are doing to address aging infrastructure.

Liquid Assets airs at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, on KERA Channel 13. Arlington residents can view the documentary on Arlington’s government cable channel 16 and on the web at arlingtontx.gov/webcast, beginning Oct. 27. See the broadcast schedule for times.

In a message to customers, Water Utilities Director Julia Hunt summarizes what Arlington is doing to address its infrastructure needs. Her message is posted on the City’s web site and cable channel. The City of Arlington is joining the American Water Works Association and other north Texas communities in encouraging more public dialogue about water infrastructure.

“Life as we know it would be impossible without water,” Hunt said. “Water infrastructure is vital for disease control, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development and overall quality of life. Arlington, like many cities and towns across America, is working to maintain and improve water infrastructure.”
