Community Briefs
Downtown Lighting Project Kicks Off
As part of the Downtown Committee’s goal for
a more vibrant downtown corridor, the City of
El Segundo is providing landscape lights in the
plants and trees in the 100-600 blocks of Main
Street, as well as three blocks on Grand Avenue
between Standard Street and Concord Avenue.
Work will take nearly two months to complete.
The work will be limited to one block at a time.
Although the contractor will be providing
safety barricades in the locations of work,
pedestrians are asked to be mindful of their
steps when adjacent to the work. The contractor
will also take up to two parking spaces on
the block in which they will be working for
construction staging.
If you have any questions about the project,
please contact Cheryl Ebert in the Public
Works Department (cebert@elsegundo.org,
310-524-2321).

West Basin Launches Water for
Tomorrow Program
West Basin Municipal Water District last
week introduced a renewed approach to
addressing its service area’s water future.
The Water for Tomorrow Program brings
new emphasis to West Basin’s commitment
to protecting, securing and diversifying its
water supply portfolio while building upon its
history of innovation and industry leadership.
Southern California’s water supply is less
certain and less reliable because it comes
from a variety of sources, including Northern
California and the Colorado River. Unpredictable
ebbs and flows of imported drinking
water, environmental and regulatory decisions
impacting supply availability, and the uncertainty
affiliated with climate change further
dictate that more preparation is needed to
be ready for future water supply challenges.
In the District’s efforts to secure its water
future, West Basin and the Water for Tomorrow
Program will continue to advance conservation
and water use efficiency as a cornerstone of
its resource management plan. The District
will also focus on improving the reliability
of our region’s critical imported water supplies,
continuing to invest in its recycled
water program, and exploring local drinking
water supplies such as potable water reuse
and desalination.
The Water for Tomorrow Program will be
highlighted throughout West Basin’s community
outreach and education programs on an ongoing
basis. Additionally, materials will be available
at the numerous free conservation events
offered in the District’s service area, such as
free rain barrel distributions, turf replacement
classes and greywater workshops. Speakers
from the District are also available to discuss
the Water for Tomorrow Program with local
organizations and community groups. More
info: www.westbasin.org/waterfortomorrow.

Just a Friendly Suggestion
I wanted to let you guys know that Rec
Park is very nice. If I were to change
something about the park, I would try to
fix the walkways and also repaint the
benches, because they are very worn out
and look beaten.
