Third – sixth grade students living in Chicago's Western Suburbs were invited to submit entries in the Do Your Part—Be Water Smart poster contest sponsored by the Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Authority of Northern Illinois. Posters were to show water conservation in action to underscore the need for everyone to conserve one of our most important natural resources.

Prizes were awarded for first through third place in each grade level, plus a grand prize of a $500 savings bond for the student and a $2000 CDW gift certificate for his or her school.

This contest takes place twice a year, once in Chicago's Far Northern Suburbs and once in the Western Suburbs. For more information please contact PAMCANI.
