We Want Everyone to Be a Good Steward of our Water Resources

That's Why We Invest so Much to Provide Free Education to You

Water is a precious and scarce resource here in the desert. We want all of our customers to understand where their drinking water comes from and what we can all do to assure that we maintain a sustainable source of water.
