Gainesville Regional Utilities submitted its annual water quality report to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s 2010 Consumer Confidence Report Excellence Award competition and included an original informational brochure about the GRU water/wastewater division’s projects and outreach activities.

I researched, wrote, designed and produced this 19-page publication from start to finish as a companion to the awards application. With the help of my publication, GRU’s water quality report won the state award from the FDEP and progressed to the regional competition.

This informational brochure was honored with the following awards at the 2011 Image Awards from the Florida Public Relations Association Gainesville chapter:

• Judges Award (Category – Brochure): presented by judges for an outstanding entry that achieves maximum results while using a minimum amount of money
