Oceanside Mayor Peter Weiss joins Mayors across the country in the 2020 Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation, taking place August 1-31. This friendly competition aims to ignite cities across the nation in promoting drought resiliency, watershed protection, and overall environmental stewardship. A month-long campaign, the Mayor’s Challenge is a call to action for leaders to inspire their residents to pledge to use resources wisely and form smart habits that will help them conserve water and energy on a daily basis. In the wake of the current pandemic, this year’s campaign provides residents with additional opportunities to get involved safely from home.
Mayor Weiss is asking all Oceanside residents to take the water pledge by August 31 to support Oceanside in the Challenge. Residents may visit www.mywaterpledge.com to pledge online, or email or mail in the hard copy sent with their August water bill. Pledges must be received by August 31. If Oceanside receives more pledges than similarly-sized cities, residents who took the pledge have the chance to win hundreds of prizes, such as money toward their home utility payments, irrigation equipment and home improvement shopping sprees.
