WATER:
Water Leaders Academy Educates and Engages

Fifteen community leaders within EMWD’s service area came together for the third Water Leaders Academy series. Over the course of three classes, participants spent time with staff discussing EMWD’s role in the community, water supplies, water quality, capital improvement projects and EMWD’s infrastructure. The Water Leaders Academy concluded with a half-day facilities tour where participants learned about EMWD’s desalination and recycled water programs.

The Water Leaders Academy prepares participants to serve as water ambassadors, who can help educate the community on local, state, and regional water issues.

WASTEWATER:
Water Filtration and
W astewater Treatment
Take Center Stage

In an effort to enhance the education of EMWD’s customers with a more visual representation of how drinking water is treated and what happens to wastewater once it leaves the home or business, EMWD teamed up with an animation studio to create two animated videos.

The first of the two videos, Get to Know Your Water, highlights the water filtration process and the lengths EMWD takes in order to deliver safe, reliable and quality water to customers. The second video, Wastewater Treatment, discusses what happens to wastewater after it leaves customer homes and businesses and how EMWD is able to treat it to become recycled water – using every drop twice.

 These videos are posted to EMWD'S YouTube Channel and social media .
RECYCLED WATER: Now on Display at the Sun City Library

In October patrons of the recently-renovated Sun City Library were the first to view EMWD’s new Groundwater Reliability Plus tabletop display! The display, now located at the Mead Valley Library for the month of November, features text and graphics that describe EMWD’s forward-thinking methods of providing a safe and reliable water supply to all of its customers. It depicts EMWD’s water supply portfolio, defines “recycled water,” and explains how Groundwater Reliability Plus will improve the quality and quantity of the water in our local groundwater basins through water banking and purified water replenishment.

After viewing the display, the public is welcome to take a flier that describes these efforts in detail, familiarizing themselves with EMWD’s programs.
