BELLEVILLE
- This fall, Illinois American Water invited 3rd, 4th and 5th grade
classrooms within the Company’s service area to participate in an
“Imagine a Day Without Water” art contest. The contest was held in
conjunction with the Value of Water Coalition’s annual event to
raise value of water service awareness.

“It’s hard to imagine even just one day without water. We need
water to make our morning coffee, to cook family dinners, to fight
fires, for public health and more. Even though water service is
essential, the public often takes its value for granted,” said Bruce
Hauk, president of Illinois American Water.
He continued, “We want to thank our local educators for taking time
to talk to their students about the value of water service. Our team
was impressed with the quality of art contest entries received from
across Illinois.”
The art contest winners listed below earned a $100 donation for
their classroom:
