Water Wise Improvements. 💧
A few members of our Murray City Water team completed a project this week with many rewards and benefits. Such as creating a drought tolerant environment, renovating old areas into more efficient landscapes, as well as impproving our community's beautification. Fencing for the property is planned to be completed in September to maintain these efforts. 🌱
