Vol. 1 – Issue 6 of the Keep Long Valley Green Newsletter, ‘Every Last Drop,’ is Hot Off the Press!

Read how the people of Los Angeles are achieving targeted water savings a decade and a half ahead of schedule thanks to successful conservation efforts spearheaded by the L.A. Department of Water & Power. Well, if there are water savings to be enjoyed, should we not also enjoy these “conservation dividends” here in the Eastern Sierra, where a lot of L.A.’s water comes from, in the way of less extraction of our water? Our current piece considers this question. Happy reading…And if you like what you read, happy sharing!
