offers the contest in conjunction with the Value of Water
Coalition’s annual “Imagine a Day Without Water” event to raise
awareness about the value of water service.
“Our local educators are our heroes every day, and especially during
the pandemic. We thank them for helping us educate our young
customers about the value of water service, not only for public
health but also for fire protection, food preparation and more,”
said Illinois American Water President Justin Ladner.
He added, “The art contest provides a unique opportunity to merge
art with the science of water service. Our team was impressed with
the number and quality of entries received from across the state.”
