Quality On Tap!
Quality On Tap is a nationwide, grassroots public relations and awareness campaign designed especially for the drinking water industry. The framework for the campaign was created by water professionals who understand the need for better community support for their systems.
What these people have in common is an intense desire to see that America’s public water systems continue to provide the highest quality drinking water possible. Second only to that is the desire that people know about their hard work. That’s what fuels this campaign.
Quality On Tap is the first practical “hands-on” guide to better public relations for small water utilities. It contains the tools small water systems need to do the most important job of all – spreading the truth to the public of the quality of work they do and the quality water they produce. As communities nationwide use the “Quality On Tap” logo and materials to promote their own quality water, they are also promoting YOUR quality water and the quality water of each system that participates in this campaign. Every time a person sees the QOT logo or materials they are being assured that the community they’re in is providing Quality On Tap to their customers. Whether it’s seen in California or Maine, Montana or Texas, the public will come to know that Rural Water in America is “Quality On Tap”!
The Quality On Tap logo can be on your water system’s tanks, trucks, shirts, literature, website, and practically anything else.
