West Basin Municipal Water District announced its schedule of 2023 offerings for its free community education program, “Water Lab.” Through classes, water recycling facility tours, and “chat” sessions with staff, Water Lab sheds light on our water supply conditions and available solutions to ensure water for tomorrow.

West Basin Board President and Division IV Director Scott Houston encouraged the service area community to stay informed and connected with the District. “We are facing real challenges to our water supplies, especially during a fourth year of drought,” said Houston. “The good news is we have solutions for securing our water future, and valuable resources to help our communities be resilient. Our Water Lab program is a great way for individuals to get involved with West Basin.”
