Mother Nature is helping the drought. Unfortunately, the 25 inches of rain we received cannot make up for the years of hot, dry seasons that parched the earth.

Our Mediterranean climate brings beautiful weather and an increased vulnerability to climate whiplash. When it’s not raining, it’s just getting drier – leaving us in frequent severe drought conditions. On top of that, our main water source – the Colorado River – is overcommitted to some 40 million residents in the western states, with Lake Mead and Lake Powell at 75% empty.

We need to continue to take small steps to save water. Here’s how you can help:

Fix leaks from toilets, faucets, and sprinklers within 48 hours.

Spring is a great time to check and adjust your sprinklers and install a smart timer ($80 rebate available).

Consider climate-friendly landscaping.

If more rain comes, take a sprinkler break for two weeks. If you can stick your finger in the soil, it doesn’t need water.

Want to get involved? Join SMWD for their self-guided Garden Tour on April 29 or their family-friendly Water Festival on May 6. Visit smwd.com to browse free classes and events, explore water efficiency rebates, and learn more about saving our water.

Santa Margarita Water District invites you to celebrate Water! The annual Water Festival is a FREE day of fun and learning for the entire family.

Hop on a bus tour to check out OC’s largest recycled water reservoir or discover where water goes after the drain at the water reclamation plant. 

Back at SMWD headquarters, Mountain Mike’s Pizza will be serving up slices, hot out of the oven. Check out the main stage to soak up the beauty of soaring birds of prey and zero in on the tiniest creatures and worms of the soil with a composting demonstration. 

We will have dozens of vendor booths, from face-painting to biology education to pipe building! Oh, and if the young ones aren’t tired YET, there is a lagoon fun house, full of fantastic fun!

Water you waiting for? Mark your calendars for May 6, 2023 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at SMWD Headquarters, located at 26111 Antonio Parkway, Rancho Santa Margarita from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm!
