In 1983 the Maine
Legislature made provisions to designate the first full week of June
as Maine Clean Water Week. Maine Clean Water Week was created to
increase the public’s awareness of the improvements made in the
quality of Maine’s waterways. One of the primary reasons our
waterways have so greatly improved is due to the hard work of Maine’s
collection system and wastewater treatment plant personnel.
The Maine Wastewater Control Association is a nonprofit organization
whose goals include promoting education and communication within the
wastewater treatment industry and to the general public; supporting a
balanced view of environmental policies; and enhancing the image of
wastewater personnel.
In recognition of Maine Clean Water Week, June 5-11, 2011, the Maine
Wastewater Control Association is again sponsoring a poster
competition for students in Grade 3-8. The theme of the competition
is “What Clean Water Means To Me.” Each class may submit up to three
posters for final judging.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries chosen form all
posters submitted. In addition, the winning student’s school will
receive a television/DVD combination and educational tapes. The
winner will be honored at the Maine Wastewater Control Association’s
2011 Fall Convention or at a school assemble.
