Joliet recognizes local winners of quarterly water-conservation incentive program
Summary
City of Joliet officials recognized adult and youth winners of the Q2 and Q3 2025 water-conservation incentive program and encouraged residents to use rethinkwaterjoliet.org to learn about leak detection and toilet-running prevention ahead of the Q4 challenge.
Lisonbee Swisher, Joliet—s director of public utilities, introduced and recognized the City—s water-conservation incentive winners for the second and third quarters of 2025, thanking participants and highlighting upcoming outreach for the fourth-quarter challenge.
Swisher told the council the program runs quarterly with separate tracks for adults and children, designed to educate residents about reducing household water use. "As we've been doing now for over a year, we've been having a different, quarterly challenge, for both kids and adults to participate in and really educate and encourage water conservation," she said. Adult winners received $50 gift cards to local Joliet establishments; children received gift bags and were celebrated at a photo opportunity with council members.
Swisher named Connie Marks as the Q2 adult winner and Amanda Gregory as the Q3 adult winner. A youth winner identified as Jovan and three children from one family who participated at the Kids Fest were also recognized. Swisher encouraged residents to visit rethinkwaterjoliet.org for information on conservation topics, including how to detect leaks and what to do about a running toilet, which she noted can add substantially to a water bill.
The acknowledgments were ceremonial; no policy decisions were made. The city staff used the event to promote continued public engagement with the program and to remind residents that the Q4 challenge will focus on identifying and fixing toilet leaks.
