More About utilities
Utilities have been around for a long time. A long time ago, people had to find water from rivers. Now, we have pipes that bring water to our homes.
Utilities help us every day. We use water to brush our teeth and take baths. We use power to watch TV and play games.
In the future, we may have new ways to get power. Some people use the sun to make power. This helps our planet too!
