While the Month of May is California’s official Water Awareness Month, Central Basin is ramping up its conservation programs in June to inspire water smart living through the summer! Don’t let the recent rain that we’ve seen fool you; water conservation all year round is the key to ensuring that our water supplies are protected for future use, even during “wet” years. For exciting conservation programs and events in your area this summer, please visit our website.
