If you want to learn more about how to use water wisely head to Polk City Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Donald Bronson Center, 124 Bronson Trail.
It’s perhaps fitting to have a Water Wise Expo in Polk City, since it lies in the Green Swamp, Central Florida’s Liquid Heart, the high point in the Floridan aquifer.
The free expo will feature information on water conservation, landscaping, hurricane preparedness, Zika and the Green Swamp itself.
Although there has been some rain lately and the county burn ban is being lifted, the drought is really not over.
