On World Water Day last week, hundreds joined virtually and in-person for the inaugural release of Dr. Ramiro Berardo’s And Water for All. This 55-minute film explores the many sides and perspectives of providing drinking water and wastewater services in Ohio. The feedback we’ve received from screenings large and small over the past six days has been tremendous – we hope that you watch or re-watch it today!
