Splash Into Spring At Lake Elsinore Annual Family Event

LAKE ELSINORE, CA —It's that time of year again when residents are invited to Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District's annual open house.

Head to the EVMWD headquarters from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, at 31315 Chaney Street in Lake Elsinore.

The 'Splash Into Spring' is a FREE family event where attendees will learn about the process used in treating more than 5.5 million gallons of sewer water per day, the construction and maintenance of more than 700 miles of pipeline throughout the EVMWD service area and saving money and water with a more water-efficient home and landscape.

Attendees will get a peek into the daily work at the District through a variety of demonstrations and interactive displays. Activities include fixing a leaky water main, performing a valve exercise, self-guided water-wise garden tours and more.

Visitors can also get a tour of EVMWD’s sewage treatment plant to see how wastewater becomes recycled water. Local landscape and irrigation experts as well as UCCE Riverside County Master Gardeners, will be available to answer questions about outdoor irrigation, California-friendly plants, gardening, and water-saving appliances and devices.

A special addition this year includes the Wyland Aquatic Lab on Wheels, which showcases water and our watersheds and the impact of water on our day-to-day lives.

"Kids will also love this event, where we feature a fully immersed bubble experience, kid’s construction experience with children-sized backhoes, climb in big equipment and more," a spokesperson said.
