“We take great pride in our quality of life here in Long Beach,” said Art Levine, president of the Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners. “As part of that, we’re pleased to support and recognize our outstanding restaurants that achieve exceptional water efficiency in our community.”
Interested restaurants can enroll at register.lbwater.org/restaurants to receive a no-cost, on-site efficiency survey, free water efficient devices (if eligible) and an assessment for other possible rebates. Once certified, restaurants receive a free branded “brag” kit to show off their pride in being water use efficient; the kit includes coasters, window clings, stickers and more.
Restaurant goers can look out for the blue and green CBR stickers and coasters at Long Beach restaurants.
“We found there is a great water savings potential in restaurants,” said Jenyffer Vasquez, CBR program manager at Long Beach Water. “Local eateries can be tremendous partners in helping us create an even more water-wise community by participating in this program. Our staff works hard to provide restaurants support to ensure they meet the requirements to gain this esteemed certification.”
