The city of Fairmont is looking for businesses and organizations interested in and willing to have some art work encouraging preservation of the lakes on or near their establishment. The work will be installed by local artists and funded with a source water protection grant the city received.
Hannah Neusch, a water resource technician with the city, said she had applied for the grant in order to do the art installations as a means of public education regarding water quality.
“We want to try and keep water quality in the forefront of people’s minds whether it’s tourists, visitors or people who live here so they remember as they’re walking down the street to use the trash can and if you see something near a storm drain to pick it up,” Neusch said.
