Record-high temperatures and below-average rainfall around Tampa Bay have made water conservation more important than ever. Pinellas County Utilities will host its inaugural Go with The Flow: Water Conservation Expo Saturday, March 16, to provide residents with valuable water conservation information and resources.

This free, family-friendly event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the South Cross Bayou Advanced Water Reclamation Facility, 7401 54th Avenue North, St. Petersburg. Residents will have an opportunity to learn from experts how to use water-saving tools, implement Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles and use the new Utilities Customer Portal to save both water and money.

Event highlights will include:

• Tours of the facility to get an inside look at how reclaimed water is processed.
• Presentations by Water Conservation and Florida-Friendly Landscaping experts.
• A native plant sale.
• Free mulch.
• Rain barrel raffles.
• Free lunch, while supplies last.
• Utilities Customer Portal demos.
• Opportunity to see Utilities vehicles up close.
• Kids activities.

Residents interested in attending can register online at WaterConservationExpo.eventbrite.com.
