Residents of all ages living in Washington County are invited to participate.

How to ROCK Water Conservation!
Washington County Water Conservancy District
Washington County can save more than 400 million gallons of water if homeowners simply dial back their landscape irrigation in September one day per week.
Really. It’s that simple.
Each day homeowners skip irrigating saves an average of 1,500 gallons of water. And, with cooler night-time temperatures, landscapes adapt well to a little less water.
Join in the savings. Head to your garage and dial back the irrigation clock.
Clock on, Washington County!
Help for the Veterans
Southern Utah Veterans Home
The Southern Utah Veterans Home is thankful for the opportunity to care for our Veterans and for the excellent support provided by the Santa Clara Community. Like many local businesses, the Veterans Home is currently experiencing a shortage of qualified staff. The positions of greatest concern are: Housekeepers, Laundry Aides, Dishwashers, Assistant Cooks, Nursing Assistants (CNA), and Nurses. The Veterans Home is seeking to hire temporary, part-time, or full-time employees for all of these positions. Of course we would love to have long lasting staff work here, but we would happily welcome job applicants who could work temporarily during this shortage. Dishwashers may be as young as 17 years old, all other positions must be at least 18. Interested individuals should contact the Veterans Home directly at 435-634-5220.

Southern Utah Adopt a Waterway Program
City of Santa Clara & City of St. George
The City of Saint George has created and requested assistance in a new program called “Southern Utah Adopt A Waterway”. The program is targeting our local water ways with combined effort including citizens, volunteer groups and municipalities. The goal is to enhances our local river system by smaller organized/sponsored clean-up efforts. It is very similar to the State’s “Adopt a Highway” Program. Santa Clara City has joined the above program to enhance and beautify the Santa Clara River/Tuacahn Wash areas within our city limits. We are looking for volunteer groups to adopt a section of river within our City. Visit our website for further information on Southern Utah Adopt A Waterway.
