AWWA Drinking Water Week

Drinking Water Week is AWWA's annual national awareness week each May, and this page is the association's outreach toolkit for the utilities and water professionals who run it: logos, proclamation templates, and social-media content rather than student materials. It is useful to a teacher mainly as a hook and a calendar date, and it suggests community activities, such as children's poster or essay contests, that a local utility might hold and a class could enter.

What you will find there

  • Downloadable Drinking Water Week logos and press-release templates in English and Spanish

  • Social-media post templates and an influencer's guide aimed at utility communications staff

Our take

Worth bookmarking as a spring anchor date and a real-world civics tie-in with local officials, but this page is built for utility communicators rather than teachers, so you will need to build the actual lesson yourself.
