May is Water Conservation Month

May is Water Conservation Month.

Every summer, we organize a water awareness and conservation campaign named ‘Don’t be that Guy’. WAKC connects local purveyors together to engage in a county wide water conservation campaign. Combining efforts and resources to maximize impact for our county. May has been marked as Water Conservation Month by statewide agencies. As May is typically the state to summer, we like to remind residents leading into our summer months ‘Don’t be that Guy’ wasting water, and be aware of your water usage.

May kick starts our water awareness and conservation campaign that will include advertising, marketing and social media promotion. Annually, we participate in a combination of radio ads, tv segments, billboards, internet promotions and more to raise awareness of your water usage. The culmination of the ‘Don’t be that Guy’ campaign will be Water Day at the Kern County Fair on September 26th.

Throughout the summer and all year round, we urge our community to be aware of their water usage and the vital necessity it supplies to our industries.
