Birds, Bees, and Other Pollinators...

Learn How Pollinators Support Healthy Ecosystems

Webinar: Thurs, May 9, 6:00 – 7:15 PM

Join us for our Gardens for Birds, Bees, and Other Pollinators free ZOOM webinar. The animation of any garden is in the buzz and song brought by bees, birds, and other pollinators. What are some considerations for inviting these guests to share our watershed-wise landscapes? Join us and learn about:

1. Key elements to creating a pollinator and bird oasis
2. Pollinators and the plants that attract them
3. Role of native plants in supporting wildlife
4. Factors that threaten pollinator and bird health

The classes are free but advance registration is required.

Public Invited to Hearing on Proposed New Rates

Over the past several months, the Marina Coast Water District has evaluated its operational and facility requirements for the next five years. We had three primary objectives: ensure that our rates remain fair for all customer classes, fund critical facility improvements, and generate sufficient revenue to fund continued high-quality service for all customers.

After reviewing detailed financial and engineering plans and holding seven public meetings, the Board unanimously directed staff to move forward with the rate-setting process. This includes mailing a notice to property owners of the proposed new Five-Year Water, Wastewater, and Recycled Water Rates and setting a public hearing for June 17, 2024, to decide on the rates.

Everyone is welcome to attend the hearing on Monday, June 17, at 6:00 PM at 920 2nd Avenue, Suite A, Marina. For your convenience, you may attend the meeting in person, via Zoom, or by phone.
