Chino Hills proclaims May as Water Awareness Month and recognizes student contest winners

Chino Hills City Council has taken significant steps to promote water conservation and recognize community achievements during its recent meeting on April 22, 2025. The council proclaimed May as Water Awareness Month, emphasizing the importance of conserving California's most precious resource amid growing demand. Management Analyst Savannah Aquino accepted the proclamation, highlighting the city's ongoing efforts to improve water efficiency, including the activation of six city-owned wells through the new TCP water treatment facility.

Aquino expressed gratitude to residents for adhering to conservation guidelines and encouraged them to participate in available rebate and water savings programs. This initiative aims to foster a culture of water consciousness among residents, ensuring sustainable water use for future generations.

In addition to the water conservation efforts, the council recognized the winners of the 24th Annual Water Conservation Design Contest, which engaged over 600 students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. This year's theme, "I'm a Water Hero," aimed to instill the value of water in young minds. The winning designs will be transformed into street signs displayed in the city, further promoting awareness.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement, with council members praising the dedicated staff who support these initiatives. As Chino Hills prepares for Water Awareness Month, residents are encouraged to continue their conservation efforts and participate in programs that support sustainable water use.
