Amid California’s climate concerns, Pasadena turns water conservation into a community event
In a state where drought is never far from mind, Pasadena is taking fresh approaches to water conservation, turning educational initiatives into community celebrations. Pasadena Water and Power is joining utilities nationwide this May to celebrate Water Awareness Month with a series of free educational events, tours, and contests designed to promote water conservation. The initiative, part of PWP’s “The Ripple Effect” campaign, aims to raise awareness about water sustainability and encourage community members to become local water stewards. … A virtual Water Town Hall is scheduled for May 7 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom, offering information about water sources, delivery systems, and sustainability efforts. Residents can also tour the Monk Hill Water Facility on May 10 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. to learn about the history of Monk Hill and its role in Pasadena’s water supply, as well as water treatment, storage, and delivery systems.
