After three years of planning, design, and construction, the Joshua Basin Water District recharge facility is finally ready to accept water from the Mojave Water Agency. The public is invited to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. Thursday, October 9, as the board of directors turns on the tap to the recharge facility. The ceremony will be held at 2400 Verbena Road, just east of the Quail Springs Apartments, in Joshua Tree. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Laura Paez at 760-366-8438, extension 235 or by email at lpaez@jbwd.com.
