This year, students across the MWRA service area were challenged to create posters about water conservation. MWRA received more than 1,100 posters as well as over 600 essays on the topic of "What a Clean Boston Harbor Means to Me."

A ceremony honoring the winning students and their teachers was held at Deer Island on May 27, 2011. More than 250 people attended the event.

The contest is part of the MWRA’s School Education Program that educates students and teachers about the public health significance of water supply and wastewater treatment.
