Gardeners and water enthusiasts, fill in the blank: "Get the hose and turn the ____ on". Answer below!

We were working on our first printed proposal in a while and came across this paper in our cabinet. It's probably 20 years old! Is it past its prime or do you think we should we still use it?

Lucy worked with over 50 water professionals in the late 90s/early 2000s to facilitate the formation of the Regional Water Authority. Over 20 years later, RWA manages significant programs benefiting the greater Sacramento region and the rest of the state. It's great to see their success and influence throughout California about highly important water policies and programs. Pass the word along about their open position for Manager of Strategic Affairs. http://ow.ly/z8EI50CSjg4

Over the years, we’ve helped San Joaquin County, California with water, wastewater and groundwater public outreach services. Their staff works hard to keep costs down and the systems running day in and day out to provide service to over 100 special districts. Although each one has its own infrastructure and rate structure, they know the details of each district and work hard to keep rates low. Thank you for all you do! #CAWaterWeek

Our awesome client San Juan Water District has some of the oldest water rights in California. Here’s a throwback to some of the programs we helped them with during the recent drought. The most effective communication tool to explain the state’s mandatory cutbacks and provide conservation tips was a 2015 Tele-Town Hall that garnered participation by several thousand customers. As usual, their staff nailed it during a difficult time! #CAWaterWeek #drought

About two decades ago, Lucy facilitated a two-year process with 20 northern California water agencies to form the Regional Water Authority. Everything from the name, logo, dues structure, joint powers and board structure were all agreed to by consensus: a decision everyone supports, understands and is willing to execute. Today, RWA is a respected water organization throughout California, providing advocacy, funding and education expertise to their members. Thank you to all the water pros who work at this awesome organization. #CAWaterWeek #recycledwater #purifiedwater

Our fantastic client Placer County Water Agency is a progressive water agency with innovative leaders who provide water solutions not only for their own customers but for everyone throughout the state.
