The House Resolution introduced by Davidson on June 18, 2025, designates July 16, 2025, as "Water Utility Worker Appreciation Day" in Pennsylvania. This date is significant as it marks the anniversary of the establishment of the first public water system in the United States, located in Schaefferstown, Lebanon County. The resolution highlights the essential role of water utility workers, who have been providing vital services for over 280 years, ensuring the construction, operation, and maintenance of water and wastewater systems that deliver safe drinking water and protect the environment.

The resolution acknowledges the dedication and expertise of approximately 5,200 water utility workers in Pennsylvania, who work tirelessly in challenging conditions, often facing hazards associated with busy streets and extreme weather events. Their commitment is crucial for maintaining public health and safety, as they are responsible for the only consumable utility provided to residents. By designating this day, the resolution aims to honor and recognize the hard work and contributions of these individuals to the well-being of the community.
