Reuben H. Fleet Science Center Exhibit

 

In 2009, the Water Authority added a second exhibit to its original display at the Fleet Science Center. This exhibit is located between the Water Authority exhibit and an SDG&E exhibit to help show the connection between water and energy usage. Through the use of pumps and meters, students learn how much energy it takes to move water. They will also see that by conserving water, they can conserve energy too.

COST: There is an entrance fee to the Fleet Science Center. For hours and admission fee information, call (619) 238-1233 or visit www.rhfleet.org.
