Help with water


As a long-time Oak Park resident who loves this area for its natural beauty in spite of our water-challenged climate, I am really dismayed to see that while many SoCal communities have restarted their rebate programs for lawn replacement, Oak Park Water Service is one of the few utilities not taking advantage of this new funding from the Metropolitan Water District.

Please explain why the Oak Park Water Service, which, by the way, is looking to raise our rates, is not doing all they can to promote conservation and tap into available funds to help subsidize water-wise landscaping in our community.
