MAN:  I don´t know- ´didn´t open it.

SFX:  Paper rustling/envelope being torn open

En Espanol -- Water Sayings - 30 second Radio

Hablamos acerca del agua continuamente.  Decimos que se nos hace la boca agua.  Sabemos que la sangre es más espesa que el agua, y que no se puede mezclar aceite y agua.  Hasta estamos hechos de agua.

¿Pero sabe de donde viene su agua potable o lo que hay dentro de ella? Su proveedor de agua pronto le enviará un nuevo y breve informe sobre su agua potable.  Esté atento.  Y cuando lo reciba, lealo.

Enterese más llamando a su proveedor de agua o en el web al: www.epa.gov/safewater.
