Commitment to Sustainability: LWD’s Continued Focus on Non-Potable Reuse
Following our Spring 2024 newsletter on potable reuse, it’s important to highlight LWD’s current focus and plans. While potable reuse is an innovative and essential solution for many regions, LWD remains dedicated to its successful non-potable reuse initiatives, with no foreseeable plans to implement a potable reuse project. Instead the District continues to operate its Gafner Water Recycling Facility, which plays an essential role in providing high-quality recycled water for irrigation.
2024 Water Career Day:

Fall is flying by and Daylight Savings time ends tonight November 2nd. 🍂
As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it's time to decrease your outdoor watering and adjust to your irrigation timers. With slower evaporation and reduced transpiration, your plants need less moisture!🌼
