(Dippy Duck attends IID Board Meeting)…The meeting was held Tuesday afternoon

The water safety mascot was on hand to help the Imperial Irrigation District Director hand out summer activity grants. They went to six Imperial Valley communities as part of the District’s water safety campaign. The funds help make swimming pools and other activities available for children and adults to keep them busy during the hot summer months and support Dippy Duck’s message to stay away from canals and waterways. The six communities split the $12,000 awarded. The grants were awarded to the cities of Brawley, Calexico, El Centro, Holtville, Imperial and the Heber Public Utility District.
