The Communications, Education & Outreach issue of Rocky Mountain Water Magazine is looking for content!

Maybe a social media tactic is working well for your organization, a community outreach program had a large turnout, or a drought campaign changed your customers' habits. Whether you're a utility communications manager or a consultant, we want to hear about your work engaging the public on their water and wastewater services.

The deadline for this issue is Wednesday, November 11. Submissions related to the theme are appreciated, but they don't need to fit the theme to be considered. Please review our submission guidelines (https://bit.ly/4i8eFGv) for more information. If you have questions, please contact us at [email protected].
