🚫 Don’t Drink Irrigation Water

Irrigation water is intended for watering landscapes and crops—not for drinking, cooking, or filling water bottles. Unlike treated drinking water, irrigation water may contain bacteria, viruses, parasites, chemicals, or other contaminants that can make you sick.

✅ Drink only from approved drinking water sources
✅ Teach children not to drink from irrigation systems, canals, or sprinklers
✅ Avoid swallowing irrigation water while working or playing outdoors
✅ Wash hands after contact with irrigation water

Protect your health and stay safe.

Ever wonder what the UV Index means? ☀️

The UV Index tells you how strong the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays are and how quickly they can damage your skin.

The higher the number, the faster you can get a sunburn:
🟢 0–2 = Low
🟡 3–5 = Moderate
🟠 6–7 = High
🔴 8–10 = Very High
🟣 11+ = Extreme

Before heading outside, check the UV Index and protect your skin with sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or shade.

Remember: It's not just about how hot it feels—the UV Index tells you how quickly you can burn.
