May 2017
By Heather Syverson, AE2S Communications
May is the month that public works and water utilities receive some much deserved recognition for the services they provide. Consider celebrating Drinking Water Week, Infrastructure Week, and Public Works Week because they provide great opportunities to spotlight the important work cities and utilities do year round.
This year, Drinking Water Week falls on May 7-13, Infrastructure Week is May 15-19, and Public Works Week will be observed the week of May 21-27. We know everyone is busy serving their customers, but here are a few simple things you can do on your social media sites to celebrate the utility services you provide.

Additional Resources
The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has lots of public outreach materials on its website, from draft news releases to official Water Week logos. Use the official hashtag #DrinkingWaterWeek17 or create one specific to your city or water utility for all of your social media posts during Drinking Water Week.
Several organizations come together to promote Infrastructure Week, which has its own website. Use the hashtag #TimeToBuild to link your social media posts to other Infrastructure Week posts online.
The American Public Works Association (APWA) website has a toolkit that includes suggestions for activities to celebrate Public Works Week. Use the hashtag #NPWW in your posts to denote National Public Works Week or make up an original hashtag for your City or utility.
