The New Hampshire Dept. of Environmental Services is looking for a firm to handle a $200K public education campaign to inform the public about the value of the Granite State’s dependable and relatively inexpensive drinking water.

The Dept. says its public drinking water system is taken for granted by the public, which makes it harder to recruit skilled workers, raise rates and propose changes to address challenges such as source protection and climate change.

It wants a state-wide messaging campaign to educate, inform and raise civic engagement among water users, water system governing bodies and policy makers. 

The selected firm will use “a collaborative approach to provide utilities and other partners with collateral materials for their use (web, consumer confidence reports, local newsletters, social media, community-based social marketing and papers),” according to the RFP.

The campaign is to run for two years. 

Proposals are due Feb. 1. Send them to [email protected] and [email protected].
