Tracking your water usage in real time– shouldn’t there be an app for that?The answer is, “yes!” there is. It’s called Flume. And best of all, the Marin Water District offers a 67% rebate on the Flume device so that you only pay around $50.
Our Insights
We have a vision for the public green spaces in Sausalito. These insights reflect issues that impact the future and may (or may not) translate into an actionable project someday. Our aim is to educate citizens in a concise manner about a complex issue, while presenting Sausalito Beautiful’s perspective or philosophy on the matter.
We invite your comments, as we aim to initiate or further a community-wide discussion on these issues.

Trees & Storms – Why Sausalito Needs to Preserve & Plant More Trees
