Gov. Schwarzenegger has proclaimed a statewide drought and water districts have declared water alerts. As many communities prepare for mandated water conservation in 2009, residents can learn how to deal with involuntary conservation at a free workshop on Saturday, December 13, from 9 a.m. to noon.

The workshop will be held at Beech Street Park (502 South Mission Road). For more information, contact Justin at Mission Resource Conservation District at (760) 728-1332 or [email protected]
