Background and Analysis:
Water Resources held an art contest for Olympia Middle School Students to promote stormwater pollution prevention and water conservation practices. The City’s 2018 Water Resources Stewardship Through Art calendar will include selected artwork. Twelve key messages were identified for the artwork to depict:
• Only rain down the storm drain
• Use a commercial car wash
• Scoop, bag & trash pet waste
• Practice natural lawn care
• Don’t drip & drive - fix vehicle leaks
• Report spills - call spills hotline
• Install water efficient fixtures
• Take shorter showers
• Don’t let the water run
• Be a leak detector - find & fix
• Water landscapes early or late
• Install a rain barrel
Twelve images were selected to produce the 2018 calendar. Each selected artist received a $50 Amazon Gift Card, a pizza party and City Council recognition. The City will distribute the calendars to each of the selected artists, Olympia middle schools and will be available at City Hall.
