Vallecitos Water District

First Place
 San Diego Section

VWD began creating videos to document the District’s workforce and infrastructure improvements on social media platforms, the District’s website and its Youtube channel. The “Work We Do” videos give the public an opportunity to see crews in action providing our community with reliable drinking water and wastewater services, protecting the environment, raising up the next generation of water workers and more.

The videos are featured on VWD’s website, on social media (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) and YouTube. This enables VWD’s message to be shared incredibly quickly. The San Diego County Water Authority uses these video on their Water News Network platform for the entire San Diego region.

The District also partnered with the Center for Water Studies to promote the “Work We Do” videos and educate students on careers in the water and wastewater industry and they are viewed in the classroom and on social media at the university.
