Spreckels Water Conservation Seminar

The Water Awareness Committee co-sponsored a Water Conservation Seminar on March 27, 2012, with the Spreckels Water Company. The event was held to draw attention to improvements made by the Spreckels Water Company and help use water efficiently. Spreckels customers and water savers from neighboring communities were invited. The seminar contained a wealth of information, including how to read your water meter, leak detection, drought-tolerant plants, and water saving practices and devices. A display of drought-tolerant plants was provided by McShane’s Nursery. The seminar was held at the Speckels Volunteer Fire Department Building and attendees enjoyed a presentation made by Bob Costa, Pacific Water Management, on irrigation efficiency.  

City of Monterey Horticultural Fair and Cutting Day

Despite the cool and damp weather, the Water Awareness Committee had a good time talking to visitors at the Monterey Horticultural and Cutting Day at Friendly Plaza on March 17, 2012. Joe DiMaggio, Michael Boles, and Paul Lord staffed the booth to promote water conservation. This enthusiastic crew passed out materials and provided advice to a determined group seeking information on efficient use of water.
