Mission Springs Water District

On December 28, our team leapt into action to mitigate an issue with damaged booster pumps due to a power surge, affecting a small area east of Mission Lakes Country Club. After we asked customers in the area to conserve water for the night, we put out the emergency call to contractors and suppliers, as well as water agencies across the state to help us find a new pump and organize private water deliveries for our customers. Thanks to our partnerships through CalWarn, we wer...e able to secure a new pump from Redlands, and the MSWD team worked through the night to get the pump up and running by the morning. We wish to thank our customers for their help in conserving water for the night, our team for their dedication and swift response, and our state-wide network of water industry professionals for working together to get the water flowing in a matter of hours. #Teamwork #Shoutout #Gratitude #CalWarn #TeamMSWD #DesertWaterAgency #ProvideProtectPreserve

To conserve water this fall, consider cutting back your watering schedule to once or twice a week. Cooler temperatures allow moisture to stay in the ground longer. If you are currently watering every day, try cutting back to every other day, or watering twice a week at longer intervals.

No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. According to the United States Geological Survey, face shaving can take up to 1 gallon of water. If only 20 million people shave their face three days per week, that’s 60 million gallons. Over the course of a year, that’s 3.1 billion gallonsthe size of a small reservoir! #Movember #NoShaveNovember
