Georgetown residents and visitors will be able to visit businesses, including Black Sugar Café, Hydrate and others, to receive free cups featuring the Imagine a Day Without Water messaging.
Limited quantities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Additionally, people who collect at least one stamp on an informational postcard from participating businesses and bring it to the city’s booth at the Autumn Art Stroll between 4-8 p.m. on Oct. 20 will be entered into a goodie bag giveaway.
The booth will be located near the check-in table in the Grace Heritage Center, 817 S. Main St., Georgetown.
According to a release from the city, Imagine a Day Without Water is an annual, national education campaign that brings together diverse stakeholders to highlight how water is essential, invaluable and in need of investment.
“The Georgetown Water team works around the clock to provide several millions of gallons of clean, drinkable water to more than 50,000 customers every day—water that not only helps us in our daily necessities, but also goes into manufacturing, fire prevention and more,” Georgetown Water Director Chelsea Solomon said. “This day is an opportunity to celebrate how important water is to our lives.”
Georgetown's water conservation team will also be in the South Main Arts District on Oct. 22, for a silent auction for the Painted Rain Barrel project.
People can submit bids for the rain barrels from 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Proceeds from the auction will go toward water conservation education and outreach efforts in Georgetown ISD.
