Illinois American Water has chosen the winners of its annual
Imagine a Day Without Water art contest. The company offered the
contest to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms within the Company’s
service area. The contest is held annually in conjunction with the
Value of Water Coalition’s “Imagine a Day Without Water” event to
raise awareness about the value of water service.
“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. Our team
was impressed with the number and quality of entries received from
across the state.”
