CARMICHAEL, CA (MPG) - On Saturday, May 6^th, Sacramento Suburban Water District and Carmichael Water District will be offering free water-saving mulch to their customers.

Mulch is an important part of a healthy, water-wise yard. It helps reduce evaporation, moderates soil temperature, and controls weed growth. Adding two to three inches of mulch for every 1,000 square feet can save thousands of gallons of water a year.

Bring a shovel, a container or tarp, and a means to haul it back to your yard. First-come, first-served from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., while the mulch lasts.
