Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and Desert Water Agency (DWA) in partnership with public water agencies that serve the Coachella Valley have developed an educational website (cvwatercounts.com) that includes important tips on water conservation. If you want to know where the Valley’s water comes from, how we are all working together to protect our natural resources or what you can do as a parent to teach your kids how to conserve, check out the website www.cvwatercounts.com.
If you own a home in Cathedral City and are thinking about converting your front lawn to desertscape, make sure you sign up for the City’s WaterSmart Landscapes Grant Program. Email or contact Deanna Pressgrove for more information or to sign up for the program. dpressgrove@cathedralcity.gov or 760.770.0369. If you don’t live in Cathedral City, contact City Hall where you do live to find out what programs may be available to you there.
Before you start a renovation project, check with your local water company to find out if they offer any rebates for the removal of turf from residential properties.
