Josue's MWRA Rap

Let’s talk about the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority,
they’re a big priority.
They supply an average of 200 millions of gallons per day,
they’re here to stay.
You can never take them away.
I have to say 51 water communities are pretty impressive.
Yeah you can say they’re pretty successive,
Let me teach you a quick lesson…
They’ve served 3.1 million people and yes this is also impressive.
Trust me they know what they’re doing.
They’ve been doing it since 1984.
They started off by cleaning the harbor that was a necessity,
They got rid of all the toxicity.
They give us clean water to drink.
During this pandemic
they have been our waters paramedic.
Cleaning water for us.
Now let’s discuss…
How they’ve served 890 thousand households.
Without the MWRA I don’t know how we would do it.
We would probably struggle
and be in big trouble.
So thank you I really appreciate your help!
