OCWD & OCSD Community Open HOUSE
"Working together for you!"
You're invited to see first-hand the cutting-edge work conducted at the Orange County Water District (OCWD)
at a Community Open House with the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) on Saturday, July 28 from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Aside from fun, food and activities; it's the perfect opportunity to tour the world renowned Groundwater
Replenishment System (GWRS) that draws visitors from every corner of the globe. Tours of OCSD's
wastewater treatment plant will also be offered hourly during the event. Kids will love OCWD's activities
planned especially with them in mind, such as pHun with Water, Watershed Wildlife, Separate the Molecules,
and Build an Aquifer. We hope these activities will help kids appreciate the vast groundwater basin that
provides a reliable source of drinking water for 2.5 million people in Orange County. To demonstrate how an
aquifer system works, kids and kids at heart attending the open house can build their own mini groundwater
model complete with a "production well."
Attendees will also learn how we use microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultra violet light to purify water. At the
Watershed Wildlife booth, guests at the open house will learn about OCWD's work in the upper watershed and
its habitat restoration programs. Santa Ana River water replenishes the groundwater basin after having
traveled through OCWD's wetlands above Prado Dam. The river not only supports fish and bird habitats in the
Prado basin, but it's a significant source of water utilized by OCWD to replenish the groundwater basin. As part
of a conservation agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), OCWD has created more than 460 acres of habitat for the endangered least Bell's vireo
and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, and funded more than $3 million in mitigation and monitoring measures
for the vireo program.
So, we hope to see you on July 28. Bring your family, friends and neighbors for food, activities, prizes,
entertainment and more! You can also help us keep pharmaceuticals out of the sewers. The Fountain Valley
Police Department will be on-site to collect and properly dispose of expired and unused medications. You may
enter the event at either location: 18700 Ward Street (OCWD) or 10844 Ellis Avenue (OCSD) in Fountain
Valley. For more information, call OCWD at (714) 378-3202.
