I am so thankful to the people at Baton Rouge Water Company for their hard work and smart choices that allow for me to have this precious commodity. Here in Baton Rouge we may have lost electricity but we never lost our WATER!! After Hurricane Gustav I tried to explain to my kindergarten kids what the Water Plant does.
