Protecting a city’s drinking water gets personal when your own family drinks from the same river.
“My family drinks the water from this river right here. And I think about that every morning,” says Kelly Anderson of the Philadelphia Water Department.
waterloop spent a day with Kelly along the Schuylkill River, seeing how her work connects what happens upstream to the quality of the water reaching Philadelphia’s treatment plants. It’s a responsibility that extends well beyond the city limits, combining science, fieldwork, and relationships with upstream communities.
This is a first look at Day In The Life, our new series showing how utility workers keep America’s water systems running.
The first episode follows Kelly into the watershed she helps protect—and the water her family depends on: https://lnkd.in/e9qrcniJ
