The ongoing COVID-19 health pandemic has not slowed the pace of discussions and events related to important issues about California’s water supplies. In October and November, the Southern California Water Coalition is on the virtual road this fall with several speaking engagements at water and utility events. Planning is also well underway for SCWC’s reimagined Annual Event and Awards Presentation. Read on to learn more about upcoming events and mark your calendars so you don’t miss them!
