Illinois American Water Announces Winners of “Imagine a Day Without Water” Art Contest

Illinois American Water has selected the winners of its annual “Imagine a Day Without Water” art contest. The company offered the contest to 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grade classrooms within the company’s service area. The contest is held annually in conjunction with the Value of Water Coalition’s “Imagine a Day Without Water” event to raise awareness about the value of water service.

“It’s hard to imagine even just one day without water,” said Bruce Hauk, president of Illinois American Water. “We need water to make our morning coffee, to cook family dinners, to fight fires, for public health and more. Even though water service is essential, the public often takes its value for granted. We want to thank our local educators for taking time to talk to their students about the value of water. Our team was impressed with the number and quality of entries received from across the state.”

The art contest winners listed below earned a $100 donation for their classroom:

Jaden Lucas, 5^th grader at Grace Christian School in Pontiac
