💗 Together, We Made a Difference! 💗
Community service is in the DNA at the LWDD. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, LWDD thanks our dedicated staff who donated, wore pink, and helped raise awareness throughout October. Because of your generosity, 21 donors helped raise $600 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, supporting breast cancer research, education, and resources for those impacted by breast cancer. We are proud of what we accomplished together, but the fight against breast cancer does not end when October does. Let's continue to support, educate, and inspire hope year-round. 💕🎗️

LWDD Chief Electrician William Holland has unlimited capacity for public service! Okay, maybe not unlimited...but the capacitor he installed will help critical flood control infrastructure operate efficiently and protect the electric grid in surrounding neighborhoods. That’s what we call putting power behind public service!

We love outdoor living, but this might be taking it a little too far. Canal rights-of-way are essential for flood control operations, maintenance access, and emergency response activities. Please keep personal property, debris, and other obstructions out of these areas. See large debris clogging an LWDD canal? Email [email protected] to report it...or to claim your missing living room furniture and water toy. 😉
