The Splash Into Summer Event Returns For Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Families

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — It's been a 2-year hiatus, and now the water district's annual open house event is back Saturday, June 25, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District headquarters located at 31315 Chaney Street in Lake Elsinore.

‘Splash Into Summer’ is free and considered a family event. Attendees will not just have fun, but will learn about the process the water district uses to treat more than 5.5 million gallons of sewer water per day. The district also will teach about the construction and maintenance of more than 700 miles of pipeline throughout their service area and how money and water can be saved through developing more water-efficient homes and landscapes.

Attendees will get a peek into the daily work at the District through a variety of demonstrations and interactive displays, a spokesperson for the event said.

Activities include fixing a leaky water main, performing a valve exercise, cleaning up a polluted watershed, and exploring pipes with robotics and video cameras.

Visitors can also tour the facility’s sewer treatment plant to see how wastewater becomes recycled water. Landscape and irrigation experts, UCCE Riverside County Master Gardeners, local nurseries, and home improvement stores will be available to answer questions about outdoor irrigation, California-friendly plants, gardening, and water-saving appliances and devices.

Kids also will love this event, where we feature “Bubblemania”, a fully immersed bubble experience. A kid’s construction experience offers children-sized backhoes, the chance to climb inside big equipment, hop in a sheriff’s cruiser and ambulance, and more.
