Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash.

July 1, 2011 - Gulu, Uganda (GDPU). This is a typical tricycle for people with disabilities in Uganda. Fashioned out of old bikes, people with mobility issues can peddle the bike with their hands. Photo by Rebecca Scherpelz.
This is the current stall for the washroom at the Bus Park. Totally inaccessible for a person with a disability. The room is too narrow, there are no hand rails, there is no place to sit and there is no access ramp. The GDPU is working to change this.

The Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership hosted PWD Public Affairs staff and 70 volunteers from the Hackley School in Tarrytown, NY. They marked 150 storm drain inlets near Tacony Creek Park.
During the first-ever Philly Free Streets event on Sept. 24, 2016, Public Engagement staff from the Philadelphia Water Department educated residents about the Fairmount Dam Fishway, a special piece of infrastructure that helps anadromous fish like shad, striped bass, sturgeon and others access Schuylkill River habitat and spawning grounds located above the dam at the Water Works. Residents and visitors taking advantage of 10 miles of open streets stopped at the fishway, also called a fish ladder, to learn about the river and the Green City, Clean Waters program.

Each spring, this PWD tradition gives us the chance to gather with our teammates, families, and the community, to remember the fellow PWD employees we've lost since this time last year. In this season of renewal, we plant a tree in honor of these employees as a symbol of the ongoing contribution that their dedicated service makes to the department and to the city of Philadelphia. The 2014 ceremony took place on Tuesday, June 17, at Grays Ferry (DuPont) Crescent Trail.
The Philadelphia Water Department is dedicated to building community engagement around green infrastructure projects planned through the City's Green City, Clean Waters program. PWD joined volunteers for the annual fall Love Your Park cleanup at Weinberg Park and Mifflin Square and talked about green infrastructure projects coming to the neighborhood.

On November 21, 2015 Philadelphia Water and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program hosted a community paint day for a mural that will be installed at 55th and Hunter streets in the Hestonville section of Philadelphia. Volunteers from the neighborhood joined Mural Arts and PWD staff to paint sections of the mural that will be installed in spring 2016. Artists Eurhi Jones and Michael Reali were there to coordinate the painting of their mural, titled “Your Hands Shimmering on the Legs of Rain.” Part of PWD’s Philly Water Art program, the mural will overlook and highlight a Green City, Clean Waters project that will bring a rain garden and storage trench to a vacant lot. The mural was also designed with input from the neighbors who requested that art be included in the project.
