SCV WATER LAUNCHES WATER CHAMPIONS PROGRAM TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY
SCV Water is proud to announce the launch of the Water Champions program, which focuses on supporting businesses within the SCV Water service area by providing programs and resources to use water efficiently. Participants in the voluntary program will receive a free water-use efficiency check-up designed to help businesses save water - and money - by detecting and fixing leaks, supplying water-saving devices and more.
