Education

Public Education at the MWA is similar to Public Information in that it includes the flow of current, relevant and useful information to targeted audiences and key publics of the Authority.  However, the Public Education programming of the MWA stresses the benefits of orienting or teaching targeted audiences and key stakeholders about the nature of the water industry and the issues impacting the water profession.  Some common subjects for public education in the water industry include water conservation, grease management, watershed protection, pollution prevention, and more.  The primary educational objectives of the MWA is to enhance public awareness and knowledge about the people, facilities, and operations of the utility, especially those directly impacting the lives of Authority customers.
