🫗 We all know Oak Creek has some of the best water in the country.

But did you know the Oak Creek Water & Sewer Utility not only does extensive testing on the water before it leaves the treatment plant, but AFTER, too.

That testing process is the focus of today's WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY post.

Once a month, crews travel to multiple locations throughout the city to test tap water to make sure everything they monitor at the plant is within acceptable levels as the water travels through the system.

Have a question you've been wondering about? Leave a note in the comments, and we'll answer it for you.
