We would like to congratulate DC Water in Washington, D.C. for its winning of the “Environmental Communications Award” for its Drink Tap: Communicating the Value of Tap Water campaign. This award is from the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists and is given to organizations that have shown “outstanding environmental communication efforts”.

Part of DC Water’s Drink Tap campaign included the partnership launch of “a signature TapIt Metro D.C. network that provides free regional access to tap water, reduces plastic bottle waste and promotes regional drinking water systems. The TapIt Metro D.C. network now boasts nearly 500 partnering businesses, a free mobile phone app, and a growing community of supporters.”

Congratulations again to DC Water for this excellent achievement!
