It may seem far away, but Northern Kentucky's rivers connect to the ocean. Clean water starts here! #WorldOceansDay #ThinkDownstream
Wetlands help us #thinkdownstream to protect downstream water users & aquatic life & provide habitat. We have wetlands located in & around our Saylorville Water Treatment Plant. Learn how wetlands here can improve the hypoxia zone in the Gulf of Mexico: https://t.co/ZrMkv8jpvo
Collaboration with like-minded partners is part of our #thinkdownstream mission. One example is the #centraliowa #covercropseeder project. #DMWW CEO/GM Ted Corrigan met with Heartland Co-op to see where cover crops were planted this fall to improve water quality downstream.
What better way to #thinkdownstream than to participate in a river clean-up! That’s why #desmoineswaterworks is supporting @DrakeUniversity student Katie Das’s project proposal for a Raccoon River clean-up on Sept. 17. You're invited! Sign up here: https://t.co/6wg4352fTU
DMWW monitors nitrate in the Raccoon & Des Moines Rivers daily. We work w/ partners to #ThinkDownstream to avoid the worst of the nitrogen flowing into waterways. If nitrate levels increase our state-of-the-art nitrate removal facility will provide safe, reliable drinking water.
Part of our #thinkdownstream mission is to support our next generation of #cleanwateradvocates. About 2,000 fifth-graders will attend today's Iowa Children's Water Festival. #desmoineswaterworks supports the event through our annual Clean Water Support Program.

#desmoineswaterworks presents on behalf of the Iowa Nutrient Collaborative for Public Water Supplies to the Iowa Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. When we all #thinkdownstream water quality improves. Thanks for starting the conversation.
Happy #nationalbeerday! Cheers to those who help us #thinkdownstream, including our partners at Raygun, who designed this cool coaster for members of our William G. Stowe Citizen Water Academy, which kicks off in May. Remember: #nowaternobeer.
A courtesy reminder from your friendly neighborhood water-industry expert: All water is recycled from somewhere. What's melting now in lots of places is going to pick up whatever it encounters along the way, and that becomes someone's source water. It's wise to #thinkdownstream.
#ThinkDownstreamThursday reminds you as you wrap up your #icefishing this winter, remove gear & shelters off the ice before Feb. 20 per @iowadnr guidelines. This will ensure you #thinkdownstream & prevent unnecessary debris from entering our #Iowa waterways as the ice thaws.
#desmoineswaterworks has joined a unique #thinkdownstream project to purchase a #covercrop seeder to increase cover crops in the #desmoinesriver and #raccoonriver #watersheds
Cover crops slow #erosion, improve soil health, increase biodiversity and help #water quality.
Here we see DMWW employees change membranes that filter #water during reverse osmosis (RO) treatment process at the Saylorville #WaterTreatment Plant. The membranes are replaced every 3-5 years. DMWW does its part to #thinkdownstream & contracts for #recycling the membranes.
Water from Des Moines Water Works’ alluvial wells pumps into these #wetland areas near the Saylorville Water Treatment Plant.
This is one way #dmww continues to #thinkdownstream by partnering with @iowadnr to create #habitat for #waterfowl.
Don't drink this untreated water!
Recently, DMWW became the only #waterutility in the nation to have all of its water treatment plants certified to ISO 50001 & SEP 50001 Gold. Managing our #energy use is one of the many responsibilities we have to you, our customers & one way we #thinkdownstream.
DMWW owns sites in the metro area that serve as water sources & rec sites such as Purple Martin Lake. @iowadnr has started 2 projects: a new kayak launch dock & a grass trail by the Raccoon. The site is 1 way @DSMH2O & @iowadnr #thinkdownstream to protect natural resources.
Do your part to #ThinkDownstream any time you’re on or near our waterways with the Keep it Clean, Keep it Fun program. @iowadnr distributes blue mesh bags that people can take with them & pick up litter as they go. Email Todd Robertson at [email protected]. for bags.
Pics taken 7/10 at Saylorville Res show algae at the marina & green tint in the lake. DMWW avoids using the DSM River w/ high levels of cyanotoxin. DMWW tests daily & hasn't detected the toxins in finished drinking water. DMWW continues to #ThinkDownstream & monitor the algae.
DMWW has millions of gallons of #water in storage in water towers. These towers provide storage for hours, not days. Levels vary during the day, but remain at 70% full. This is 1 way DMWW does its part to #ThinkDownstream & ensure water is stored for fires & peak hour demands.
Recent rains haven't moved central #Iowa out of a #drought or increased river levels. DMWW asks customers to #ThinkDownstream & use rain barrels or other collection devises. Learn about incentive programs for those who install rainscaping here: https://t.co/xaEIMqxfWz
