WaterFest

Educating the public about the benefits of water and the importance of conservation is an important role of the Utilities Department.  WaterFest, a family-oriented event focused on the benefits of municipal water, allows the department to express its appreciation to customers and educate the public.  Educational booths provide information on xeriscape landscaping, low-flow fixtures, leak detection, reading water meters, boater safety, and water recreation.  A designated children's area features waterslides, jump houses, educational games and crafts.  In addition, the Florida Institute of Technology's Science Exploration at Sea mobile laboratory taught children about water quality waves and the ocean's environment.  Attendance for WaterFest 2007 tripled from the previous year.
