EXPLANATION:                     Each year, the Florida Section of the American Waterworks Association (FSAWWA) sponsors the “Drop Savers” Water Conservation Poster Contest, where students from kindergarten to 12^th grade are encouraged to create a poster depicting a water conservation theme.  The contest allows students to promote water awareness and the importance of water conservation in their daily routines.

In support of April being National Water Conservation Month, the Village of Wellington Utility Department created a local Drop Savers contest.  Students from Wellington elementary, middle, and high schools were invited to participate in the contest.  This year is the eighth year of the local contest.  This year, a total of 363 posters were received.  After a panel of judges rated the posters based on message, creativity, and originality, the following local winners were selected to represent the Village of Wellington Utility Department.
