WELCOME TO THE SPARTA GROUNDWATER COMMISSION WEBSITE
The Sparta Groundwater Conservation District Commission is pleased to present our newly renovated website. This website has been a long time coming in developing but has finally been completed. Thanks to the vision that this Commission has set we are able to present a new and improved source of information about the Sparta Aquifer. Thank you to the dedicated folks at Newcomer, Morris, and Young Inc. for the time and expertise that has made this site's development possible.
Feel free to navigate your way through our website to find newly compiled information about the Sparta Aquifer as well as historical information about the Sparta Groundwater Conservation District. Please keep in mind that this site will be updated regularly so be sure to look back for new information.
Thank you for joining us today and remember, EVERY DROP COUNTS!
SPARTA COMMERCIAL
The Sparta Groundwater Commission and Sparta Foundation are pleased to report on the expansion of our educational marketing campaign. Thanks to Louisiana Tech's Idea Place and Project INVEST the Sparta Commission was able to create a 30 second and 45 second commercial from our ten minute educational video 'Our Lives, Our Water' to use across the Sparta Region. These commercial have been played at three local movie theatres; Tinseltown in West Monroe, Cinemark in Monroe, and Celebrity Theatres in Ruston. Our sincerest thanks and appreciation to all of these theatres but most importantly to Celebrity Theatres in Ruston who has made it their priority to educate the public about the declining Sparta Aquifer at no cost to the Sparta Commission or Foundation. Soon you will see this commercial appear on local television channels across the Sparta Parishes. The goal of the Sparta Foundation and Commission would not be attainable without our commuinity leaders and businesses joining in support of our message. Thank you again for your support and dedication!
