| Watershed Signage Program |
 Ever had your watershed welcome you on the freeway? Now the Santa Ana River Watershed will welcome millions of freeway drivers each day on 12 different highways with signs that say, Santa Ana River Watershed: Keep It Clean!
IEWK is working with Caltrans, SAWPA, Santa Ana Regional Board and local water districts in securing funds for installing 5' x 5' freeway signs to let people know when they enter our watershed. Along the SR-74, I-215 and I-15 we will also have signs that say, San Jacinto River Watershed: Keep It Clean!
Each sign costs around $5,000 - sponsors needed! More details to come. Call Waterkeeper, Lee Reeder at 951-689-6842. |
