Imagine a Day Without Water / Imagina un día sin agua In mid-October each year, "Imagine a Day Without Water" invites us to recognize how crucial our need for water really is by visualizing life without it. Very quickly, we learn how indispensable water is in our everyday lives, and how our health, environment, and economy depend on reliable access to clean water. The City of Vacaville invites the community to join in recognizing the 11th annual Imagine a Day Without Water, a national day of action that highlights the essential role water plays in our daily lives. We encourage residents to take part by sharing these messages and using the hashtag #ImagineADayWithoutWater to help raise awareness about the value of water in our community.

California boasts over 1,000 spider species! Even though spiders might not have the best publicity, Solano County Water Agency notes that it is time to give them the credit they deserve! Spiders are beneficial predators that feed on pest, insects, and can help reduce reliance on insecticides that contribute to the runoff and pollution of waterways. Most spiders are non-venomous and prefer to avoid people. Some spiders are even adorable, like jumping spiders! 🕸️ There are around 300 species of jumping spiders in the U.S. These spiders don’t build webs but pounce or ‘jump’ to capture their prey. This October, SCWA encourages everyone to make room for these splendid creatures in their garden! 🌼
