O.C. <strong>Water</strong> Hero Program - The O.C. <strong>Water</strong> Hero Program encourages <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s<br />

youngest water users to use water wisely and protect our water resources. The goal <strong>of</strong> this<br />

program is to engage children in water use efficiency activities while facilitating<br />

discussion with friends and family members about how to save water. Any <strong>Orange</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> child can become a <strong>Water</strong> Hero by pledging to save 20 gallons <strong>of</strong> water per day.<br />

In exchange for their pledge, they receive a free <strong>Water</strong> Hero kit, which includes a variety<br />

<strong>of</strong> fun, water-saving items like a 5-minute shower timer and “fix-it” ticket pad for busting<br />

water wasters. <strong>Water</strong> Heroes can then take their water-saving skills to the next level by<br />

becoming <strong>Water</strong> Superheroes. To become a Superhero, a student must get their parents to<br />

also pledge to save 20 gallons <strong>of</strong> water per day. All Superheroes receive a second free kit<br />

filled with items like a Superhero t-shirt and keychain. To date, more than 13,000<br />

children in <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> have become <strong>Water</strong> Heroes and more than 4,000 have become<br />

Superheroes.<br />
