Give Water a Hand Residential Campaign

The Maumee RAP collaborated with 16 local jurisdictions to educate residents of Northwest Ohio about storm water and other environmental issues, their impact on water quality, and how the average citizen can help. This was accomplished with an educational campaign that included mailing tip cards quarterly to every household in partnering jurisdictions throughout the region.

Newspaper, television, and cinema advertisements were also used to promote the issues. Press releases, posters, and public service announcements (PSAs) were released in conjunction with tip card distribution.

Copies of the tip cards, posters, press releases, and advertisements are available for downloading from the Publications Page. These links were made
available as they were distributed each quarter from January 2004 to April 2005.
