Circle of Blue, as part of the Great Lakes News Collaborative, won the US Water Alliance’s annual US Water Prize this week. The prize honors groups, municipalities and media outlets that innovate or examine issues related to the natural resource.

The award is for “Outstanding One Water Communication” for the “Water’s True Cost” series examining the origins of Michigan's water infrastructure crisis.

The Great Lakes News Collaborative consists of Circle of Blue, Bridge Michigan, Great Lakes Now at Detroit Public Television, and Michigan Radio, and is funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

The Collaborative works together to bring audiences news and information about the impact of climate change, pollution, and aging infrastructure on the Great Lakes and drinking water. The independent journalism is funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. The Collaborative’s work is online here.
