San Jose Water Supports Local Fall Festivities and Community Drives

SJW Shows Gratitude with Fall Community Initiatives

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 11, 2023 – San Jose Water (SJW) maintains a long tradition of giving back. This fall, SJW is proud to join local nonprofits, community organizations, and other philanthropic entities in supporting several initiatives that highlight the company’s dedication to the communities where we live, work, and serve.

“San Jose Water is more than just a utility; we’re a community partner,” said John Tang, VP of Regulatory and Customer Service at San Jose Water. “We believe there is no company without community and have been proudly serving the greater San Jose metropolitan area for generations with safe, high quality, and reliable water service. It is important to celebrate the communities we’ve all built together.”

Falling for Community

The season kicked off on September 16 with Bark in the Park, which lived up to its reputation as the US’s largest dog festival, drawing packs of dog enthusiasts and their loyal four-legged companions. SJW was a proud sponsor of this year’s milestone 25th-anniversary celebration in San Jose. Attendees enjoyed a day of outdoor festivities with their furry friends, as SJW provided misting tents, wading pools, and water bowls for dogs to cool down throughout the paw-ty!

Additional upcoming autumn initiatives sponsored by San Jose Water include:

Happy Hollow Senior Safari

Dates: September 28th and October 26th

Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

The SJW crew was at the September Safari handing out planters, reusable straws, and other sustainable freebies to guests. Seniors can come say hi at the SJW booth again this October — always located near the mini SJW water tower at Happy Hollow.

Operation Gobble
