The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance awarded the 2019 Dr. R. Neil Lowry Grant to the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment in Pueblo, Colorado, at the National Environmental Health Association’s 2019 Annual Education Conference & Exhibition awards ceremony in Nashville.
Given in the memory of Dr. Robert Neil Lowry, a longtime member of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance and the Recreational Water Quality Committee, this $5,000 grant honors a public health official or department who has made contributions to advance the public’s health and safe use of recreational water through educational, safety, operational and technical programs.
The grant will allow the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment to educate citizens in Pueblo County about the importance of water safety and bather hygiene in public and private recreational waters.
