WINSTON MATTWANDEL WILL BE HONORED BY THE DISTRICT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THEIR JUNE MEETING

SCOTTS VALLEY, CA – June 10, 2019 - The Scotts Valley Water District (SVWD) today announced that Scotts Valley High School student Winston Mattwandel was among nine local high school students honored for their original videos about water-wise Gardens earlier this month, culminating the fifth annual student-made video contest organized by the Water Conservation Coalition of Santa Cruz County and the Monterey County Water Awareness Committee.

The District opened the Recycled Water Fill Station on Kings Village Road in 2015 to provide a supply alternative for residential customers when California was in the middle of a severe drought. The station was well received by the community and had 98 permitted users signed up in the first 2 years of operation. Use of the fill station peaked in 2016 with 131,000 gallons distributed over 5 months. Visits dropped off sharply in 2017 with 57,000 gallons distributed and again in 2018 with only 56,000 gallons dispensed over the five and half months the station was open.
