SAN MARCOS, CALIFORNIA (July 11, 2019) — Internationally-recognized Hunter Industries today hosted a smart water use educational event at their San Marcos facility in honor of Smart Irrigation Month. Attendees included representatives from the San Diego County Water Authority; water use experts from municipalities statewide; San Diego-area business leaders; and North County elected officials, including Mayor Matt Hall of Carlsbad, Mayor Rebecca Jones of San Marcos and Mayor Paul McNamara of Escondido.
The event consisted of an educational luncheon and facilities tour highlighting how southern California communities can water their lawns, flowers and fields more efficiently.
