Becerra inducted into Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi
Mary Becerra of Morgan Hill, a student at Saint Mary’s College of California, was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.
They are among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.
Lawn watering expands
The City of Morgan Hill is no longer in a Level 4 Water Shortage as of May 4, which means residents and property owners can now expand their lawn watering to three days per week through Oct. 31.
Under the city’s watering guidelines, watering days are determined by a home’s residential address, according to city staff. Odd-numbered and no-numbered addresses may water on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The city continues to adhere to permanent water conservation measures adopted to prevent the wasteful use of water, city staff said in an email newsletter. These include the continued prohibition on watering non-functional turf on commercial, industrial and institutional properties—which includes homeowners’ associations.
“These measures allow for management of the city’s potable water supply in the short and long-term future in order to minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill,” says the newsletter.
