Earth Day is Sunday, April 22nd.  During this week, I will highlight Earth Day activities.  The City of Fort Lauderdale has partnered with Birch State Park’s Earth Day, Every Day.  One of the activities to assist City of Fort Lauderdale residents in going green and saving water is a showerhead exchange.  You can bring in your old showerhead and get a new low-flow head free! Here’s the details:

 

 Save Water, Save Money with Free Showerhead Exchange at Earth Day Event

 

The City of Fort Lauderdale is sponsoring a FREE showerhead exchange for City utility customers at the Earth Day Every Day event on Saturday, April 21st .  The Earth Day Every Day event, which has activities for the entire family, is taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, located at 3109 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. To receive a new, high-efficiency showerhead, simply bring a copy of your Fort Lauderdale utility bill and your old showerhead to the City’s booth and exchange it for a new one. There is a limit of two showerhead exchanges per household, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.  There are even hand-held models available. The showerheads for the exchange are being offered through Conservation Pay$, which is rebate program developed by the Broward Water Partnership (BWP). The BWP is comprised of 18 municipalities and water utilities that are committed to providing opportunities and incentives to encourage our neighbors to save water.

For more information about the showerhead exchange, please contact the City of Fort Lauderdale 24-hour Customer Service Center at (954) 828-8000 or online at www.fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice. You may also contact Customer Service via LauderServ, the City's Android application.
