ITEM:                     A PROCLAMATION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA RECOGNIZING AND CONGRATULATING THE LOCAL WINNERS OF THE AMERICAN WATERWORKS ASSOCIATION’S “DROP SAVERS” WATER CONSERVATION POSTER CONTEST

EXPLANATION:                     Each year the Florida Section of the American Water Works 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 desired to create a local Drop Savers contest.  Students from Wellington elementary, middle schools, and high schools were invited to participate in the contest.  After a panel of judges rated the posters based on message, creativity, and originality, the local winners were selected from their designated divisions.
