Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a proclamation declaring August 20 – 26 as Water and Wastewater Workers of Iowa Week. This week is set aside for Iowans to honor those workers in the water and wastewater industry for their commitment to representing their community, protecting public health, and caring for the environment.
 
Water and wastewater workers are unsung heroes in our communities and many people often take for granted the affordable and reliable water that we rely on every day.
 
The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU) encourages all members to thank the water and wastewater workers in their communities.
 
During Water and Wastewater Workers of Iowa Week, IAMU will share social media posts. Feel free to use these posts on your utility’s and/or city’s social media. Also, use the hashtag #ThankAWaterWorker in any social media posts about this week.
 
In addition, here are some other ideas for how to recognize water and wastewater workers.
 

• Provide a breakfast or lunch sometime during the week or a cook-out for employees.
• Include surprise treats in the breakroom- donuts and cookies are always popular with coworkers.
• Give utility-branded gear- Water bottles are popular swag.
• Schedule a mid-morning or afternoon recess – an extra half hour off during the day. (or extend the lunchtime break)
• Rotate the prime parking spot(s) among the workers – either each day or assign them a week at a time in the future.
