Crafton Hills Resevoir
The Agency recognizes that water conservation is a key component to the future of water supplies in the Pass. The Board of Directors recently authorized a Water Conservation and Education Master Plan, which will help set the course of the Agency’s water conservation and water education efforts for the next few years.
In the Pass area, approximately 60-65% of the water used at each residence is used outside, mostly for lawns and gardens. The Agency recognizes that it must provide alternative landscaping ideas for Pass residents who want to save water but still maintain attractive yards.
To help educate children on the importance of water conservation, the Agency’s Board of Directors has appropriated funds to sponsor the Paul Cash Environmental Magic Show at each of the nine elementary schools in the Beaumont and Banning school districts during the 2006-07 school year. Mr. Cash has brought his environmentally friendly message to thousands of children in Southern California and around the country. The Agency’s Board realizes that, if children can be educated at a young age to change their water use habits, our region will have more water in the future.
In addition to these magic shows, the Agency will pay for school field trips to water-related sites, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s Diamond Valley Reservoir and the Salton Sea. Please contact the Agency for more details on these field trips.
