Description
Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) is a California Special District located in East Contra Costa County. The District provides sanitary services for two separate communities with approximately 15,000 households and businesses. Ratepayers pay for services annually through their county tax bill. Consequently, other than the tax bill, local residents usually don’t hear from the District unless there is a special concern. For this reason ISD distributes a quarterly newsletter through the US postal service.
The newsletter, first published in 2002 soon became the starting point of a vigorous public outreach and education program that has evolved and become more interactive with social media, an interactive website, booths at community festivals and fairs, taking part in the annual citywide science week program and annual public tours at the District’s Recycled Water Facility. The Outreach committee has developed several award-winning programs that have been highlighted in the newsletter through the years.
