On June 19, NPWA welcomed Trevor Mosiondz and his family to their Operations Center to paint a fire hydrant, for which he submitted his winning design to their hydrant design contest held in May for Drinking Water Week.
Trevor painted the “Phanatic” hydrant as his family and several NPWA staff looked on. The hydrant will proudly be on display in front of NPWA’s Operations Center, located at 300 Forty Foot Road in Towamencin. A sign with his name will also accompany the hydrant, which will remain there until a new winner is announced during next year’s contest.
This year’s contest was held during the first full week of May in honor of National Drinking Water Week, for students in grades Kindergarten through fifth to design a fire hydrant. Trevor, a fifth-grader at the time of the contest, submitted his design, which was among more than 70 entries received. NPWA staff voted his design the winner on May 10.

NPWA Facebook “Over the five years we’ve held this contest, we’ve never had an entry of the Phanatic! This idea was truly unique and will surely be loved by employees, visitors, and Phillies fans of all ages. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out,” said Anthony Bellitto, Jr., executive director of NPWA. “We thank all of the participants who designed and submitted a fire hydrant for our Drinking Water Week contest; we look forward to seeing the creative designs each year.”
National Drinking Water Week is an initiative of the American Water Works Association, and occurs during the first full week in May each year to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives. For more information, please visit www.awwa.org.
