Water connects every part of our lives.
Each October, communities across the country come together for Imagine A Day Without Water—a national campaign to highlight how essential water is in our daily lives. The campaign challenges us to picture a single day without water and underscores the importance of investing in the infrastructure—pipes, pumps, reservoirs, and treatment plants—that keeps clean water flowing and wastewater safely managed.
EBMUD is proud to join forces with the Oakland Roots SC to share this message in the East Bay. While our communities enjoy reliable access to high-quality water, millions of people around the world live without it.
In this Roots X EBMUD collaboration video, the message is clear: a day without water is a day without the connections and experiences that bring us together, like a love of soccer. After all, water sustains life—and everything that depends on it.
Take the Water Pledge
Simple actions make a big difference. Here’s how you can value water:
- Sip local. Drink EBMUD tap water. Refill and reuse your bottle instead of buying bottled water.
- Get outside. Visit an EBMUD reservoir or explore a local watershed.
- Spread the word. Tell someone where your water comes from—the Mokelumne River and watershed in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
- Fix leaks. Save water at home by repairing drips and leaks.
- A clean Bay starts here. Take a virtual or in-person tour of EBMUD’s Wastewater Treatment Plant.
