You Can Help Lower Utility Costs This year, we are asking you to help in the district's effort with managing sustainability and lowering our utility costs. If everyone does their part of ensuring that all non-essential equipment such as lights, electric heaters, coffee pots, radios, etc are either turned off or unplugged we may meet a few cost savings goals. For example, we could potentially save roughly $25,000 over a three day weekend; just think how many three day weekends there are. We appreciate your assistance and gentle reminder as we work together on sustainability. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact either Brad Taylor or Ryan Fujiwara. BRAVOS!
