Is your household on a well? Please plan to attend this virtual meeting in early December to learn more about how we are trying to improve the management of local groundwater resources.

Residents and owners of properties served by individual or shared private wells will be the focus of this meeting to discuss the Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency’s efforts to improve the management of local groundwater resources. Anyone interested in this topic is encouraged to participate. A key goal of the Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency is to plan for sustainability and resiliency of the groundwater in Santa Margarita Basin for the benefit of all water users and the environment.

The virtual meeting will be 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2. Join the meeting by computer, tablet or smartphone on Facebook Live or Zoom (Zoom meeting info: Meeting ID: 838 3780 8907; Passcode: 648383; Call-in: 1-669-900-9128 US)
