The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation has announced that they will be promoting August 20 - 26, 2017 as Vermont Clean Water Week. On August 21st Governor Phil Scott will issue a proclamation declaring Clean Water Week for the State of Vermont. They invite you to join in celebrating Vermont’s waters, and the efforts of businesses, organizations, and communities to protect and restore clean water statewide. They are asking organizations to get involved in a few ways: 1. Host a local event to help celebrate Clean Water Week, 2. Become a Clean Water Week Sponsor (it's free and you don't need to host an event to be a sponsor!), 3. Share your clean water project or story on social media using #cleanwaterweekvt. To register your Clean Water Week Event and/or register as a Clean Water Week Sponsor, complete the online Clean Water Week Sponsor and Event Registration Form. Registered Clean Water Week Sponsors and Events will be included in the State of Vermont's Clean Water Week publicity prior to and during the week. The final event and sponsor registration deadline is Wednesday, August 16, 2017.  For more information, email [email protected] or call Bethany Sargent at (802) 490-6131.
