Student artists honored for their winning poster contest entries

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, the Board of County Commissioners and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department Director Roy Coley recognized 13 students who submitted winning entries for WASD's 16th annual Every Drop Counts Children's Poster Contest. This year's theme, "Water is Life: Let's Conserve It!", inspired more than 3,200 creative entries from kindergarten to fifth grade students across the County.

A winner from each Commission District received recognition at the April 16 Board of County Commission meeting, which was fittingly scheduled during Water Conservation Month. 

As part of Miami-Dade's Water-Use Efficiency Plan, the contest educates students on appreciating water and the need to protect and conserve this critical natural resource.
