Watermaster Open Houses

Stakeholder Open House held at the Borrego Springs Library on November 9, 2023

The Borrego Springs Watermaster hosts Open Houses semi-annually, typically in the spring and fall of each year at the Borrego Springs Public Library. The Open Houses are intended to facilitate public outreach and provide a venue to receive public input on grant‑related projects, Watermaster activities, and sustainable management of the Basin. The public is encouraged to attend these Open Houses to meet with, ask questions, and have a discussion with Watermaster Staff and Board members. All Watermaster Open Houses are noticed via Watermaster’s email distribution list and website. We hope to see you at a future Open House!
