Community Water Company of Green Valley extends its appreciation to the many residents who attended the water conservation workshop held at the Green Valley Library. The company also extends its sincere regrets to the residents who were turned away when the room reached its capacity. RSVPs were requested in advance to help with planning, and only 24 were received. The event room seats close to 80. More than 120 residents arrived at the library, reflecting the strong interest our community has in responsible water use and the operation of their local water provider.
The workshop focused on household water leak detection, irrigation efficiency, winter preparation, and an overview of the company’s current operational challenges. The technical presentations delivered by staff provided clear guidance for residents, and we are grateful for the positive feedback from our residents.
“One of the most effective ways residents, who are members of the not-for-profit, can support long-term water security is to volunteer as board consultants,” said Arturo Gabaldón, President of Community Water Company. “We rely on engaged members who are willing to contribute their time and judgment. Anyone interested can contact our office or submit a volunteer interest form on our website.”
In the days leading up to the event, an outside organization circulated advertisements, mailers, and public notices that were misleading regarding the purpose of our conservation workshop. These materials were released without any prior contact with Community Water Company, creating confusion among residents who believed the meeting would address issues unrelated to the workshop agenda. Our website, social media posts, and public notices consistently communicated that the workshop was dedicated to water conservation and related company operations.
Based on input from residents in attendance, Community Water Company is planning future workshops on the Central Arizona Project (CAP) and on the status of the groundwater aquifer supporting the Green Valley/Sahuarita area.
We thank the residents who attended our workshop and our staff who contributed to the technical presentations. Community Water Company will continue to provide clear information, practical guidance, and reliable service to the residents of Green Valley Sahuarita.
“As we mark fifty years since Community Water Company was formed, our commitment to clear information, responsible stewardship, and reliable water delivery service remains as strong as ever,” Mr. Gabaldón noted.
