American Water is inviting 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms within
the Company’s service area to participate in an “Imagine a Day
Without Water” art contest. Winning students will win their
classroom a $100 donation. Artwork may also be featured in a future
bill insert and other communication pieces.
This art contest is being offered in conjunction with the Value of
Water Coalition’s 3rd Annual “Imagine a Day Without Water” event on
Oct. 12, 2017. All across the nation, events and activities will
take place to highlight the important, and often taken for granted,
role our drinking water plays. Winners of Illinois American Water’s
art contest will be announced publicly on Oct. 12, 2017.
“While it’s hard to imagine even just one day without water, many
still take this critical service for granted. We hope to raise
awareness and educate about the value of water service by combining
art with the science of drinking water service,” said Bruce Hauk,
president of Illinois American Water.
Participation in the “Imagine a Day Without Water” art contest is
easy. Students are asked to draw a picture and write one sentence
that describes what water service and a day without water means to
them. Teachers can find instructions and materials online at
www.illinoisamwater.com
in the “Learning Center” area of the site. Learn more about “Imagine
a Day Without Water” here
