Explanation
As a means to reach future generations and spread the water conservation message, the annual Florida Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) Drop Savers Poster Contest is sponsored by GRU to help teach local youth about the importance of conserving our most valuable resource - water.
Winners and Honorable Mentions were selected from each class division. Each winner will have their poster advance to the state-level competition.
Winners:
Division 1 (K/1): Ariah Barnes (K Grade) - Ms. Ownby’s class, One Room School house
Division 2 (2nd/ 3rd): Holly Krakowski (3rd Grade) - Ms. Yeargen’s class, Alachua Learning Academy

In support and recognition of the winning poster contributors, GRU and FSAWWA is providing gift cards to the winners and recognizing the teachers involved in helping educate the students in the value of water conservation.
Fiscal Note
The fiscal impact is less than $1,000. The funds were budgeted in the Water & Wastewater Systems Operations & Maintenance Budget as part of the GRU water conservation education efforts to support our community’s consumptive use permit.
Recommendation:
The City Commission recognize local student winners from the Drop Savers Water Conservation Poster Contest.
