Congratulations to third grader Frances Marinacci, who won the Mayor’s Choice Award in the Evanston Water Week Contest.
National Drinking Water Week takes place May 5-11. To celebrate, Evanston joined communities across the U.S., along with the American Water Works Association (AWWA), in recognizing the gift of water through an art contest.
This year, Evanston chose the theme Protect the Source, to highlight the gift of clean drinking water from the faucet, sourced by Lake Michigan.
Third graders around Evanston prepared original art for this theme. Throughout the week, the City or Evanston invited the community to vote online for their favorite pieces.
