Lead Communications

Frequent and transparent communication is key to keeping our communities safe from lead in pipes and plumbing. This package helps utilities communicate with confidence by providing adaptable outreach documents, samples from colleagues across North America and off-the-shelf AWWA tools.

Social Media

It has become critical that organizations have a presence on at least one social media platform such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube.
