Carthage Water & Electric Plant (CWEP), is hosting our annual 5k & 1-mile fun run/walk, in honor of π§ Drinking Water Week (May 4th-10th)π§ This is an important week set aside each year to help bring awareness to the Carthage community of the benefits of tap water, that a safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. This week gives a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join together in recognizing the vital role water plays in our daily lives. We always look forward to celebrating this week with our Carthage community and can't wait to race you to the finish line!
