    Behind Every Drop - S1E3

    Water is a part of everything we do in Modesto, from the water we drink to the yards we care for and the communities we call home. Where does this water come from, where does it go, and what does it take to make sure that there is enough water for everyone, today and for our future?   Join host Sonya Severo, the Public Relations and Legislative Affairs Manager for the City of Modesto, as she talks to the Utilities Division about Modesto’s water. They discuss partnerships, investments, and hard choices that turned an overdrawn aquifer into a sustainable water supply. Division Managers and Civil Engineers pull back the curtain on conjunctive use, groundwater banking, recycled water, and the infrastructure upgrades that keep taps flowing. This episode shares practical conservation tips from expert voices, and how community action and long-term planning saved the city tens of millions of gallons and built resilience for future growth. Follow along to learn about about resident stewardship, engineering, and the everyday decisions that make every drop count for our City and our future.
