LIMIMTED AVAILABILITY!
Join LBC-LA in a special August UnMeeting hosted by the Place + Water Subcommittee, where attendees will be given a tour of the Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (“SMURRF”) by Neal Shapiro, the Coordinator of Watershed Management and Urban Runoff for the City of Santa Monica.
After the tour, please join us for Happy Hour at the newly opened Dudes Brewery.
The SMURRF project is the first facility of its kind in the nation and perhaps the world. This state-of-the-art facility treats dry weather runoff water (from excessive irrigation, spills, construction sites, pool draining, car washing, the washing down of paved areas, and some initial wet weather runoff) that used to go directly into Santa Monica Bay through storm drains, taking with it pollutants such as litter, oil and animal waste – anything that finds its way onto a surface exposed to runoff.
Special thanks to the City of Santa Monica for sharing this unique opportunity.
