In the first few clean up days, members of the community who care about the health of the Delaware have already collected <a href="https://instagram.com/p/6xlsMVhKZ0/" target="_blank">nearly 10,000 pounds of trash</a>! That's almost five tons of litter and other pollution that would otherwise be hurting wildlife habitats and damaging a major Philadelphia drinking water source.

Credit: Philadelphia Water. Our new logo and brand, which hasn’t been <a href="http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/philadelphiawaternewbrand1" target="_blank">updated since 1987</a>, is a very visible piece of our efforts to communicate with the 2.2 million customers and other stakeholders we serve and work with every day. We don’t just have a new logo. We have a new way of doing things that is redefining what a water utility can be and do. We are a different department than we were 30 years ago. You can see the change through our innovative, trendsetting programs like <a href="http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/what_were_doing/documents_and_data/cso_long_term_control_plan" target="_blank">Green City, Clean Waters</a> or in our new Stormwater Plan Review and Regulations <a href="http://www.pwdplanreview.org/" target="_blank">website</a>, which makes complex information for developers and commercial customers more accessible and easier to understand than ever. Because what we do and how we do it has changed so dramatically, we needed to change the very thing that says who we are: our brand. The logo people see every day is part of the face we put on the immense amount of work Philadelphia Water does to make sure our customers know what we offer and how we are using their fees. And, while the funds invested in our new look represent an extremely small slice of our budget, it’s a powerful and cost effective way to send a clear message about all the important new work we’re doing and to call attention to significant changes in the way we operate. Our new brand does a number of important things, giving us a big bang for our buck: <blockquote>• Being Philadelphia Water instead of “PWD” clears up widespread confusion about who we are. Experience and research revealed many customers mistakenly associated us with “PGW,” our sister agency, the Philadelphia Gas Works. • Updating our look to express our massive modernization efforts sends a signal to businesses and people thinking about moving to or working with Philadelphia. • Investing in a new brand is an easy and cost effective way to start a conversation about what Philadelphia Water is today. • "Established 1801." The new look strives to foster civic pride in Philadelphia’s history as a leader in water technology, reinforcing our position as industry leaders—we have been at the forefront of protecting and delivering water for over two centuries. It also reminds people that much of our infrastructure is a gift we inherited from previous generations, and that now is our time to preserve and expand on that investment. </blockquote> We take a big investment like this seriously, and we want to get this once-in-a-generation opportunity right. It’s why we devoted significant resources and time to becoming Philadelphia Water—a name and look that truly reflects the new department we’ve become as well as the department we’re working to be. Beyond customer service and communications improvements, we're also <a href="http://www.phila.gov/water/wu/drinkingwater/MainBreaks/Pages/default.aspx#" target="_blank">reducing water main breaks</a>, using <a href="http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/meterupgrade" target="_blank">smart meters</a>, making big strides in river water quality improvements, and investing in <a href="http://www.phila.gov/water/sustainability/energy/Pages/default.aspx">renewable energy at our treatment plants</a> — so stay tuned for more news. We’ll miss “PWD,” but our new brand is your invitation to discover who we are in 2015. Philadelphia Water is a whole new department, one that’s serving you better and offering more to customers and the city than ever before. 1987 Brand Communications Customer Service Education Logo Philadelphia Water technology Mon, 13 Jul 2015 18:39:21 +0000 Brian.R 1943 at http://archive.phillywatersheds.org Happening Today: A Brand New Chapter for Philadelphia Water http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/blog/happening-today-brand-new-chapter-philadelphia-water Part one in a series of stories examining the foundations of our new brand Way back in the summer of 1987, the Philadelphia Water Department selected its first logo through a design contest for art and design schools in Philadelphia. The winning submission came from Eric E. Doyle, and was designed to convey a department eager to serve the needs of its customers. That sentiment hasn’t changed.   But Philadelphia Water has evolved tremendously in other ways over the past 29 years. We are working harder than ever to provide quality customer service and protect our infrastructure and water sources, all while transforming Philadelphia into the <a href="http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/BigGreenMap" target="_blank">greenest city in the country</a>. We’re also strengthening our outreach and education efforts to communicate who we are today and our vision for the future. Our new logo is a highly visible reflection of these initiatives. <img src="/sites/default/files2/PhilaWaterLogoComparison.png" alt="Philadelphia Water is rolling out a new look for the first time since 1987." width="485" height="485" /> The new logo puts ‘WATER’ front and center and emphasizes the full range of services we provide that impact the quality of life for Philadelphians: quality drinking water, safe and responsible wastewater management, and a commitment to the environment and protecting our city through stormwater management. The updated logo also includes a tagline with a nod to our legacy of serving the city for the last 214 years.  In the following months, we’ll be using these blog posts to take a closer look at the work behind the new brand, starting with:    <ul> <li>New efforts in quality customer service</li> <li>New efforts in infrastructure</li> <li>New efforts to transform Philly into a green city</li> <li>New efforts in education and outreach</li> </ul>   Keep an eye out for more updates at Phillywatersheds.org and feel free to share our new look!  1801 Brand drinking water History Logo Philadelphia Water Mon, 04 May 2015 13:45:06 +0000 Brian.R 1897 at http://archive.phillywatersheds.org
