Tenaya Towers Using Recycled Water in Toilets
Thank you to HDAE Staff for Making a Difference!
On the five year anniversary of the catastrophic January 9 Debris Flow in Montecito, another record-setting storm system battered Santa Barbara County and resulted in closures of highways 101 and 154 by late Monday afternoon. As a result, all of the local hotels were filled within hours of the evacuation orders and road closures, and several of our staff that commute to campus were stranded without a place to stay the night.
