 The 2014 Outstanding Water Project Award recipients
are Allie Lambert and Megan Dobbins, both of Southeastern High
School in Augusta; as well as Samantha McCarty and Hannah Riedle,
both of Mt. Pulaski High School. Illinois American Water presented
each awardee with a plaque and cash award.
“These students are exemplary in every regard and highly deserving
of this honor,” said Randy Pankiewicz, Manager of Water Quality and
Environmental Compliance for Illinois American Water. “We wish them
all the best as they pursue their academic endeavors and hope they
will continue to concentrate on protecting our environment and water
sources."
Illinois American Water established the Outstanding Water Project
Award to recognize high school students choosing to focus on water
research and related topics. High school students who are members of
Illinois FFA are eligible to participate in the state convention and
award competition. Since 2013, the company has awarded a total of
$2,000 to eight Illinois students.
