Back to School: Water Authority Offers Educational Resources

As summer break ends across San Diego County, the Water Authority is once again offering several free educational resources.

The Water Authority continues to offer two popular assembly programs that convey the importance of using water efficiently to elementary school students using music and humor. And the Water Authority continues to support the Splash Mobile Science Lab that delivers hands-on environmental education right to local schools. Details about the assemblies, along with a short video, is at www.sdcwa.org/assemblies-mobile-splash-lab#assemblies.

Through a generous grant by the Hans and Margaret Doe Charitable Trust, the Water Authority also provides posters of the water cycle and a map of California's water systems, along with workbooks about watersheds and the water cycle.

Please encourage educators in your community to take advantage of these opportunities.
 
 

Live WaterSmart Goes on the Road in September

The Water Authority is at community events sharing information about rebate and incentive programs available along with tips on ways to use water efficiently. Introduce yourself at our booth during one of the events below and we will give you a reminder to Live WaterSmart.
Thank you, Live WaterSmart Partners!

The Live WaterSmart campaign is in full swing across San Diego County, and numerous partners are joining the effort to make the most of our most precious natural resource.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) invited the Water Authority to share WaterSmart resources at its annual Waterwise Day employee fair on Aug. 18, and Rise San Diego celebrated Live WaterSmart at its Aug. 19 breakfast in Southeastern San Diego.

In addition, San Diego County Chapter of the California Restaurant Association is preparing to promote Live WaterSmart during San Diego Restaurant Week Sept. 25-Oct. 2.
