Board of Water Supply

“Where does the water we use come from?”

“The story begins out in the ocean where the sun shines down on the ocean water. Tiny droplets of

seawater rise from the ocean into the air…”

“and are blown toward our island mountains by the trade winds.”

“ It falls as rain on the island…”

“ and soaks into the ground where it moves through lava rock and becomes part of our underground water supply.”

“Fresh water is held inside the lava rock and floats on salt water from the ocean.”

“Our water is also stored inside the mountains between walls of dense lava rock.”

“The Board of Water Supply drills wells and builds pump stations to take out water from the ground …”

“and uses pipes to carry the water to your home.”

“Turn on your water faucet to fill your drinking glass.”

“We use water for plants and to bathe in.”

“Remember to turn it off when you are done! Please, don’t waste water!”
