Drinking Water Week & The Water Awareness and Outreach Committee
The Water Awareness and Outreach Committee has taken on the task of creating a utility toolkit for Drinking Water Week along with a state-wide children’s coloring competition. The goal of the Virginia Section tool kit is to provide resources for utilities to use to celebrate and participate in Drinking Water Week with their communities. The toolkit includes template social media posts and graphics, logos, press releases, children’s activities, and more! You can access the FREE resources here.
If you are interested in helping to create future drinking water materials and assisting in other committee activities, request to join the committee or contact committee chair, Lilly Meighan at lillian.meighan@lynchburgva.gov
