Engaging Our Community
While COVID-19 safety protocols and
restrictions remained in place in 2021,
community outreach continued in a digital and
virtual format. Community outreach included
engagement with elected officials, municipal
and industrial partners, and “live” interactive
presentations with valued stakeholders. Media
coverage included “Please stop flushing floss,”
“New program seeks to improve impaired
waterways of Green Bay,” and “NEW Water
celebrates nine decades of water treatment.”
Our annual STEAM Superheroes Camp with
the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay
recruited new “Defenders of the Bay,” who
learned what they can do to protect our water
against pollutants such as “Sinister Sediment.”
This camp helps educate area youth in
importanct STEAM (Science Technology,
Engineering, (Communication) Arts, and
Mathematics) skills to protect area water.
In 2021, our website visitors increased 15%
over 2020. As part of our pollution prevention
initiatives to save costs and to more effectively
protect public health and the environment, we
launched Public Service Announcements,
earning 120,000 impressions on social media.
