When life gives you lemons, guess how many!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Otay Water District booth game during this year's Chula Vista Lemon Festival.

Guests were asked to guess how many artificial lemons were inside our 115-ounce water pitcher. The answer was 107 lemons!

Why 107? The number of lemons represented the 107 miles of the District’s recycled water distribution system. The District owns and operates the Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility in Rancho San Diego, capable of producing up to 1.1 million gallons per day of recycled water for irrigation at golf courses, schools, parks, and open space in areas of eastern Chula Vista.

THE WINNERS: Patricia D. and Dona R. both from Chula Vista and Otay customers guessed the closest to 107 lemons. They will be receiving an Amazon gift card and goodie bag! Congratulations!
