Helix Water Talks
Our Helix Water Talks series gives customers a behind-the-scenes look at what we do. Our employees lead the tours, explain how we treat water, and explain how we deliver it. We also teach about how we and east county’s water supply have developed since our start in 1889. Scroll down to reserve your spots at our next event.
