Water Wisdom Workshop a success!




Associate Planner Wendy Atkins, one of the primary coordinators of the Water Wisdom Workshop, held at the Vet’s building last Saturday, gave this report: “The Water Wisdom Workshop was a success. We had over 200 members of the public come to the event to learn about water conservation techniques from vendors and speakers. The highlight of the event was observing 40 people in the speaker room listening to Carrie Pollard’s presentation on rebates to assist the public becoming more water efficient. I received positive feedback from the public on the quality of the speakers and the topics.” The workshop was developed in partnership with the City of Sonoma, the Sonoma County Water Agency, the Valley of the Moon Water District, the Sonoma Ecology Center, and the Napa County Resource Conservation District. Congratulations to Wendy and thanks to Joe Burroughs for his participation and to the Public Works Department for also coordinating.
