Save Our Water Statewide Water Conservation Campaign. 

SCWA is partnering with the statewide this campaign, which is being organized by the Association of California Water Agencies, Department of Water Resources and Governor Schwarzenegger’s Office.  It is SCWA’s intentions to utilize the statewide campaign in our region – instead of creating our own.  The statewide campaign will provide us with radio, television and print advertisements – which will greatly reduce the cost of producing our own campaign materials.  The water conservation tips being provided by the statewide campaign parallels those that were created by the TAC Water Conservation Sub-Committee and North Coast Water Conservation Group three years ago.  SCWA has been very involved in the creation of the Save Our Water campaign – it is modeled after the Flex Your Power campaign.

SCWA will be working closely with the TAC Water Conservation Sub-Committee and North Coast Water Conservation Group to implement the Save Our Water campaign.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. 

Thank you,
