Local water heroes shine in poster competition
Gippsland Water has announced the winners of its National Water Week poster competition.
Managing director Sarah Cumming congratulated the winning students and thanked all entrants for their posters.
“Congratulations to the young artists from across the region who were recognised for their colourful submissions,” Ms Cumming said.
“The theme of ‘Water Heroes: Save Every Drop’ acts as a reminder for people to reduce their use and help preserve water resources throughout Gippsland.”
The local winners also competed in the statewide competition, where four of them went on to place second or third.
This is the most successful result for local Gippsland entrants and saw Gippsland Water receive more places than any other water corporation this year.
