Utility districts putting on water workshop
The North Tahoe Public Utility District and the Tahoe City Public Utility District have partnered with Tahoe Resource Conservation District and the University of California Extension Master Gardeners to bring a Water Wise Landscaping Workshop to Tahoe City on Aug. 28 from 6-8pm.
The workshop will be at the Tahoe City Public Utility District’s board room on Fairway Drive.
The purpose of the event is to provide people with some hints and tips to meet mandatory water conservation plans. People will be told about water wise landscaping and landscape styles, how to design a water wise landscape, how to irrigate efficiently, and receive information on the conservation programs and services available to residents in both districts.
This event is free and open to the public.
We drove by the Commons and Campground the other day, during a rainstorm. The ground was soaked but the sprinklers were running anyway. Water flowing down the gutters… Same thing at the Johnson Blvd government center, The best part was that there were staff there at the time doing landscaping work.
And STPUD has people driving around writing warnings and tickets to citizens for improper watering. Does the City just get a free pass to waste water? Maybe they can make it to the workshops in North Shore.
