The Pennsylvania Water Environment Association (PWEA) provides a “Public Education Toolbox” with articles that can be copied into your newsletters and flyers on water topics. Many communities have newsletters and websites that would welcome informational or educational articles. The PWEA Public Education Committee has been gathering relevant and basic articles that can be edited and easily adapted for use within your community and is pleased to offer this communication tool. If you don’t have time to write an article or simply don’t like to write, visit the PWEA “Public Education Toolbox.” The “Public Education Toolbox” includes a list of editable documents that can be downloaded. The posted articles are not copyrighted, which allows anyone the ability to edit and adapt them to their specific use. The articles posted have been freely donated by the authors with no conditions or promises attached. Articles include, but not be limited to, topics such as FOG, sewers, biosolids, and easements.
