Water Awareness Month
The North Coast County Water District, along with other water agencies across
state, observe Water Awareness Month during the month of May.
Water Awareness Month educates Californians of all ages on water issues and encourages wise
use of water resources. The ultimate goal is to develop an awareness of water and the
need to conserve water throughout the city and the environment.
The District is currently accepting entries for the 2012 Water Awareness Month Poster Contest. The contest is open to public, private and home-schooled students from kindergarten to 5th grade, who reside or attend school in Pacifica. Entry deadline is May 9th. View Flyer and Official Rules
