The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which represents 24 major local governing bodies in the DC region, plans a community engagement campaign to educate people about the value of water and the need to invest in the infrastructure that delivers it to homes, schools and businesses.
Working in partnership with 14 regional water and wastewater utilities, COG will tap a PR firm to create a marketing campaign that will “increase residents’ knowledge about their source of drinking water and their utility providers,” according to the RFP.
That outreach effort will highlight the safety of drinking tap water, need to protect household pipes and foster customer appreciation for infrastructure needs, and how they are tied to rate increases.
COG governments include Fairfax, Alexandria, Falls Church, Vienna and Manassas (VA); and College Park, Takoma Park, Montgomery County, Annapolis and Baltimore (MD).
Proposals are due Nov. 24. They must be submitted electronically at https://mwcog.net.
