City Promotes Water Conservation with Earth Day Mural
In a vibrant celebration of Earth Day on April 22, the City of Georgetown unveiled an “Every Day is Earth Day” mural on the Georgetown Municipal Complex building. Painted by Sarah Blankenship, the Watershed mural is intended to inspire the community to engage in water conservation initiatives. “The goal is to inspire viewers to appreciate and actively participate in efforts to protect our precious water resources,” Arts and Culture Program Manager Amanda Still says.
The mural features Lake Georgetown — a spot of beauty and recreation and a source of our drinking water — as well as the city’s two water towers, north and south forks of the San Gabriel River, and Blue Hole Park with residents and wildlife enjoying the water. Around the building’s arch is beautiful flora from Georgetown’s preferred plant list, along with a Georgetown must, the red poppy!
