The San Diego County Water Authority’s “Water News” application is now available for the BlackBerry® platform, joining those for the Android® and Apple® smartphone systems that launched on October 25.

The Water News app is the third communications project the Water Authority has launched since last year to better inform and educate ratepayers about important water issues and the Water Authority’s efforts to provide the region’s 3.1 million residents and $186 billion economy with a safe, reliable water supply.
In October 2010, the Water Authority re-launched its website, www.sdcwa.org, with an upgraded design and new features that made it easier to find and share information via social media, RSS, and other digital communication features. In May 2011, the Water Authority launched “Water Talks,” a free, quarterly community forum program that gives participants the opportunity to learn about and discuss key water issues with Water Authority Board leaders and senior Water Authority staff. More information on that program is available at www.sdcwa.org/water-talks.
