Don't forget!

SacSewer is hosting an art contest, and we’re inviting students in grades 2–5 across public, private, charter, and home education settings to submit artwork.

Students are encouraged to create original artwork inspired by the core themes of Project AWE: Agriculture, Water, Energy, and the Environment. From illustrating the journey of water to exploring the role of agriculture or the importance of sustainable energy, students can translate real-world concepts into creative, personal expression.

This art contest builds on those same ideas, offering a meaningful opportunity for students to reflect on how these interconnected systems shape our communities and future—whether they’ve experienced Project AWE firsthand or are engaging with the concepts in the classroom.

Located at the historic Nicolaus Dairy near Elk Grove, Project AWE is a partnership between SacSewer and Sacramento Splash, providing an immersive, standards-aligned learning experience for grades 2–5. By blending local history with interactive lessons, the program fosters environmental stewardship and helps students better understand the resources we all depend on.

SacSewer looks forward to recognizing the winning students and classrooms, including a winning certificate and a highlight on SacSewer’s social media. Additionally, a likeness or artistic interpretation of the winning artwork may be used on a future mural project located at the Nicolaus Dairy.

We look forward to seeing your students’ creativity!

Don’t flush your meds, take them back instead. 💊

Today is National Drug Take Back Day. If you have unused or expired medications at home, now’s the time to drop them off for safe disposal.

Flushing medications can send trace contaminants into our waterways, where they can affect ecosystems and water quality. Taking a few minutes to dispose of them properly helps prevent that and supports the work we do every day to protect public health and the environment.
