That’s a wrap on West Basin Municipal Water District’s second Water for Tomorrow: Community Conversation public forum, this time held in the city of Carson! Once again, our Assistant General Manager Paul Liu joined leadership from esteemed agencies including West Basin, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts to inform the community of water management and reliability efforts for the region.

From connecting with local residents and sharing WRD’s role in managing groundwater for Southern LA County, this event was just another example of how government agencies can come together to protect an essential resource: water.

Thank you to West Basin for facilitating an excellent event, local agency partners for providing added value, and community members for spending time to learn about the treasure beneath our feet!
