EVMWD supports the ‘Water is Life’ contest and other educational efforts, which foster water resource stewardship, water-use efficiency, and watershed management.”
Family members, teachers, and EVMWD staff celebrated the student artists during a special ceremony held at EVMWD headquarters. Students received trophies and prizes. As a token of appreciation, the teachers received gift cards for classroom essentials.
