The Water Works program was designed to assess the ability of a middle school service learning project to educate and bring about changes in the community regarding local water quality issues. The program consisted of three participants; The Seven Hills Charter School, the MA Audubon Society, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Community education events and the design of a web site were used in the effort educate the community. The program was adapted to include a web site dedicated to providing the information needed to start a program in other communities.
