PERRIS -- Eastern Municipal Water District this month is hosting a virtual Open House and invites its customers to learn more about their water and wastewater district in a week full of water, wisdom and winning.

The 2021 Waterfest runs from Oct. 25-28, and features interactive programs, educational opportunities, and the chance to win daily prizes.

Each day hosts a new theme:

Oct. 25: History of EMWD and where your water supply comes from, including virtual tours of EMWD facilities.

Oct. 26: Join us to hear about EMWD’s drought status as well as water use efficiency programs and tips, including the new Landscapes for Living program.

Participants may also view programs once they are completed. EMWD will be giving away prizes each day, including items to help customers become more efficient at their homes with their outdoor water use.
