A
Important
events
and
historic
dates
are
often
ingrained
in
people's
minds
because
it's
a
time
to
celebrate
what
we
value
most,
we
here
at
the
city
of
Bloomington,
are
proud
to
make
the
community
aware
of
yet
another
important
event:
that's
national
drinking
water
week
running
from
May
first
through
May.
Seventh,
this
gives
water
specialists
a
chance
to
join
with
the
community
that
they
serve
to
highlight
the
vital
role
water
plays
in
our
lives.
This
year's
theme
is
the
benefits
of
water.
Here's
three
reasons
you
should
be
drinking
more
water.
A
Water
is
easily
accessible
and
tastes
great.
In
Bloomington,
the
Sam
H
Hobbs
water
treatment
plant
in
Bloomington
produces
up
to
14
million
gallons
of
treated
drinking
water
each
day.
If
you
ask
the
residents
of
Bloomington
there's
something
about
this
city's
tap
water
I
can't
quite
put
my
finger
on
it,
but
it's
delicious.
Let's
take
a
look
at
the
process.
Water
treatment
plant
employees
go
through
to
make
our
city's
water
taste
so
great.
This.
B
Is
a
ground
water
treatment
facility?
We
have
six
wells
located
around
the
plant,
they
pull
between
three
and
nine
hundred
feet
below
the
surface.
The
ground
water
comes
into
the
water
treatment
facility,
we're
adding
line
to
it
and
as
it
enters
this
Basin
it's
going
out
into
the
upslope.
The
up
flow
is
there's
a
turban
in
there
that
mixes
the
flock
and
the
raw
water.
As
that
settles
out,
clear
water
goes
over
the
Weir's
and
enters
into
our
co2
basin.
It
then
enters.
We
add
chlorine.
B
B
We
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
why
our
water
tastes
so
good,
if
I
believe
it's
a
two-part
question
or
an
answer.
First
of
all,
it
is
the
dissolved
minerals
in
the
water.
The
water
makes
its
way
through
the
ground
the
dirt
and,
as
it
goes
through
the
aquifer,
it's
picking
up
all
these
minerals
and
then,
besides
that
it's
the
temperature,
the
temperature
down
there
is
pretty
cold
buck,
50,
55
degrees,
I,
believe
it's
the
dissolved
minerals
and
the
temperature
that
gives
it
that
good
taste
with.
A
More
than
one
third
of
the
city
considered
natural
habitat,
there's
no
shortage
of
water
sources
around
bloomington,
helping
to
fill
the
underground
aquifers,
the
Minnesota
River
over
300
lakes,
ponds
and
streams,
all
working
together
to
recharge
those
underground
aquifers
that
are
then
utilized
by
the
water
treatment
plant.
Water
is
good
for
your
health.
C
Water
is
so
important
to
the
human
body,
because
it
is
the
major
chemical
component
of
our
body
about
sixty
percent
of
the
weight
of
our
body
is
water
and
it
is
integral
to
every
system
of
our
body.
So,
for
instance,
our
circulatory
system
can't
function.
If
we
don't
have
the
appropriate
amount
of
water
nearby
water.
A
Keeps
your
muscles
lubricated
allowing
you
to
get
out
and
get
active.
It
also
plays
a
key
role
in
comfort,
performance
and
safety
when
participating
in
any
sort
of
physical
activity.
Staying
hydrated
keeps
you
mentally
sharp
and
helps
fend
off
many
illnesses.
Water
is
a
bargain
in
blooming
Tim
contained
in
individual
plastic
bottles.
The
average
cost
of
a
bottle
of
water
is
between
one
and
four
dollars
in
the
u.s.
tap
water
is
contained
in
large,
elevated
storage
containers,
like
you
see
here
at
this
tower,
located
in
West
Bloomington
and
according
to
recent
surveys.
D
For
a
taste
test,
what
we
do
it's
a
blind
taste
test
and
we
set
up
our
table
where
we
have
two
different
containers:
one
is
filled
with
city
of
Bloomington
water.
One
is
filled
with
the
generic
bottled
water
that
you
can
get
at
any
grocery
store
and
nobody,
none
of
the
participants
know
which
water
is
in
which
container
and
what
they
would
be
asked
questions
about
would
be.
How
is
the
taste?
How
is
the
order?
