Education 

Hi-Desert Water District is committed to providing information to the community on water related matters affecting our water supply.  Water is one of our most precious resources.  Life cannot exist in the desert without the proper management and investment into water resources and infrastructure.

The District offers tours, presentations, information material and resources to promote water education in Yucca Valley.  Contact the Public Information Officer for details (760) 228-6267.

Interested participants should read the Yucca Valley Wastewater Treatment and Water Reclamation Project Questions & Answers booklet (also available at Hi-Desert Water District) and write an essay summarizing the information.    Entries will be judged based on grammar, knowledge of subject matter, style, and grade level bracket (either 6th-8th & 9th-12th grades).  Winning essays will be announced on May 18th at the regular Board meeting.    A first, second and third place will be selected for the 6th-8th grade group and for 9th-12th grade group. Both first place essays will be published in the Summer “Water Notes” Newsletter. The essay must include the title of the essay contest “Wastewater Treatment in Yucca Valley” and meet the following guidelines:  Deadline: April 30, 2012 · Be the original work of the student. · Be typed or handwritten. · Be limited to 300-500 words. · Be on white 8 1/2” x 11” paper · Include the name, grade, teacher, and school.   If you have questions, please call Jennifer Cusack at (760) 228-6267.
