SUMMARY: The Summer Splash Water Challenge
Giveaway was started in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 shutdown. It is a
virtual/print educational water conservation gameboard designed for children
and families. Participants watch videos online and/or visit educational
websites through links on the event website to find the answers to the
questions on the gameboard. Completed gameboards are submitted to MPWMD for a
chance to win a prize. Winners are featured on the MPWMD Facebook page.
Summer Splash 3 is a joint program with California American Water. A
portion of the advertising costs will be reimbursed by Cal-Am. The District is paying for the prizes,
advertising, and website upgrades. The
new game will launch July 1 and run through July 31, 2022. The full event plan
is attached as Exhibit 8-A.
The Water Demand Committee was given an opportunity to review the plan
through email prior to this meeting. No comments were received. The General
Manager approved an initial expenditure of budgeted funds to prepare the game
board and advertising and to update the website for this year’s game.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee should recommend that the Board approve the expenditure of budgeted funds of up to $20,000 for this outreach event.
IMPACT TO STAFF/RESOURCES: Funds for this expenditure were approved in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget.
