Interview on the Perspective show airing on WVKL, WWDE, WPTE and WNVZ on Sunday mornings. 500 Attachment 3A Attachment An abundance of gratitude for an essential service By Rebekah Eastep and Katie Cullipher

What has kept you going over the past 15 months? A steaming hot shower or relaxing soak in the tub? Baking bread or planting flowers? Maybe it’s been an afternoon coffee or tea break. All of these activities involve one common denominator—water. June 30 is Annual Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals Appreciation Day in Virginia. Please join askHRgreen.org in thanking our essential water and wastewater employees of Hampton Roads, who keep the taps flowing and commodes going—especially during the coronavirus pandemic! Now more than ever, we are keenly aware of the value of this most precious resource and how it supports public health, our local economy and our overall quality of life. In Hampton Roads, our public water systems consist of a complex network of miles and miles of underground pipes. This unseen infrastructure ensures the safe and reliable supply of water to our homes, businesses and hospitals every day of the year. Collecting, storing, treating and delivering water to and from homes and commercial enterprises are the jobs of the region’s municipal water utilities and the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD). In our region, the public water systems are supported by 12 drinking water treatment plants, with more than 100 wells and 23 reservoirs storing over 34 billion gallons of water. Once this water is used, more than 1,500 pump stations carry sewage to the 13 wastewater treatment plants across the region to be treated for safe release back into local waterways and groundwater. While the pandemic forced many Hampton Roads services and businesses to close for a time, our water utilities never shut down. For that, we are grateful for our local treatment plant operators and lab technicians, who treated and monitored our water for safety. We appreciate the construction crews and engineers, who kept the pipes maintained. And we thank the employees, who read our meters and took our calls. Many essential water and wastewater employees worked through difficult circumstances this past year due to social distancing guidelines and staff quarantines. This sometimes meant these workers had to do more work with less help, and yet they never failed to deliver a safe, reliable service to area residents. Our water and wastewater professionals worked tirelessly (often without mention) to ensure their community had an abundance of water during a time when we needed it most.

Attachment 3B If you are looking for a rewarding career with good benefits and the chance to serve your community, consider working for water. And to the workers, who bring this service to us every day, allow us to raise a glass of refreshing tap water to salute you! Thank you for the essential service you provide and for keeping us going in so many ways.

NOTES & ANALYSIS

While we had our Value of Water Workers paid media campaign running during the rst week of May, it didn't generate a lot of activity on the website. That doesn't mean people weren't educated or became more aware...

mobile There were many special calendar days in May that we highlighted, including 44.4% desktop 52.8% Wildower Week and Hug A Tree Day, in addition to Mother's Day and tablet

Attachment 6B Attachment Memorial Day. We ran supportive social media messaging for those days, as well as lawn/garden care posts, and continued cigarette-butt messaging with a paid ad that helped drive trac to our cigarette waste page with a dramatic 786.8% increase in page trac.

Our mobile-to-desktop ratio is consistently balanced. Mobile is running slightly higher, about 8% more, which has been the trend this entire scal year (outside of April, which had desktop use slightly higher). SOCIAL MEDIA / Facebook May 1, 2021 - May 31, 2021 ▼ May include Organic & Paid Trac

Attachment NOTES & ANALYSIS

Our May/June newsletter had a fantastic open rate at 25.2% and very impressive click-through-rate to the website of almost 12%; that's 190 click- throughs. These are the highest stats we've seen all year! Also interesting is looking at the Heat Map of where people are clicking on this edition of our

6B newsletter: 1. Native Plants guidebook, 2. masthead/website home page, 3. our Pinterest page, and 4. the 757 ReUse Center.

The average open rate for emails in all industries is 16.03%, per Constant Contact. We are monitoring stats for days and at times that have shown to perform the best. For 2021, stats show that sending out on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8am, 1pm, and 5pm perform the best; we sent/resent our May-June issue on a Tuesday at 1pm, and resent it the following Tuesday.
