PWD to Offer Water Use, Conservation Courses to Customers
The Palmdale Water District Board of Directors gave the go-ahead to staff to develop a water education class, which customers could attend in lieu of paying fines for overuse, should mandatory water restrictions be put in place.
Suggested by Director Amberrose Merino, the class is modeled after one used successfully in Santa Cruz in 2014, which offered customers a one-time waiver of fees for overuse if they attended a course about water use and conservation.
“They actually had a really successful program,” Resource and Analytics Supervisor Claudia Bolanos said.
