Metropolitan Water District of Southern California — Outreach & Programs

Metropolitan Water District, the wholesale supplier for a six-county Southern California region, runs a custom "H2O Show" classroom presentation for pre-K through college alongside free field trips, teacher in-services, and a middle-and-high-school STEAM design program called Water Engineering 4 Good. A student art calendar contest drawing entries from across the six-county service area and Scout merit-badge workshops round out the offering.

Our take

Metropolitan covers Southern California's imported-water story, including aqueducts and allocation across six counties, at a regional scale that complements a single city's utility program. Field trips and in-person presentations are limited to Metropolitan's service area, and the Girl Scout patch program is currently paused, so confirm availability before requesting a visit.
