Water: Our Gold – Presented at Ironstone Vineyards

May 5, 2023

We are thrilled that more than 250 people attended the “Water: Our Gold” video premiere last night at Ironstone! It was incredible to see the community show up AGAIN to support Utica, Union Public Utility District, and City of Angels – the proud providers of our community’s water supply.  It was fun, meaningful, and rewarding to see the community come together in such a big way, and recognize people like Larry Thompson and Duane Oneto who secured our water supply in the early 1990s. When we join together we can accomplish incredible things. We hope this event helped connect people with their water supply, and we encourage everyone to get involved in protecting our most valuable natural resource: water.

Below you will find links to the videos and educational presentations. Please share with your friends and family!
