Free water conservation & landscape fair

Chino Basin Water Conservation District, in partnership with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency and local water agencies, will host the fourth annual Regional Water Conservation and Landscape Fair.

This fair is free from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 24 at Chino Basin Water Conservation District's facility, 4594 San Bernardino Ave., Montclair. 

There will be free water saving devices and raffles throughout the day with the grand prize -- at 1:30 p.m. a high efficient clothes washer will be raffled.

Since outdoor water use accounts for approximately 50 - 70 percent of a typical home's water consumption, the fair will focus on outdoor water conservation with information provided by vendors on water wise landscaping, efficient irrigation practices and rebate programs. 

In addition drought tolerant plants for sale. 

There will also be various information booths demonstrating ways to reduce your indoor water use.

The event will include a performance by the National Children's Theatre, a petting zoo and pumpkin patch, a giant slide, face painting, and exhibits by the local police and fire departments.
