Oceanside Takes First Place in Nationwide Waterwise Contest
The city of Oceanside took first place in this year’s Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation, earning the title of most waterwise among similarly sized cities across the country.
In total, Oceanside residents and businesses saved 32,945 gallons of water, collected more than 10,000 pounds of debris headed for local rivers and the ocean and reduced carbon emissions by 137 pounds during Earth Month in April.
During the annual competition, mayors around the country encourage their communities to conserve water, reduce carbon emissions and reduce waste.
