Compost Girl Explains: GreenwashingChoosing the most environmentally beneficial product with hundreds of choices in front of us is hard. Especially with “greenwashing” as prevalent as it is. What is greenwashing you ask? Greenwashing is when a company purposefully misleads us into believing their company and/or their products are more environmentally sound and/or beneficial than what they really are.

Lake Hennessey Boat Launch Closing for the Season TODAYThe City of Napa announced the Lake Hennessey Boat Launch (dock) will be closed for the season starting at sunset TODAY, Friday, August 13, 2021. Record-low water levels at Lake Hennessey due to the region’s current drought make it necessary to close the boat launch for the safety of the public and to protect the lake’s water quality. The boat ramp has become too shallow and is forcing boaters to enter the Lake with their vehicle in order to launch their boats, which can potentially affect the water quality. As always, bodily contact or walking in the water while launching kayaks or canoes from the shore or boat dock is prohibited. Since Lake Hennessey is a municipal water supply, users must follow Boating Regulations and swimming and paddleboarding are not permitted. The Lake Hennessey Boat Dock parking lot will remain open. The boat dock is likely to stay closed until December or later, depending on the quantity of winter rain the region receives and the Lake’s levels. The City of Napa’s Water Division will continue to monitor the Lake’s levels and adjust closures accordingly. The Napa City Council declared a Moderate Water Shortage on May 4, and on July 20 enacted regulations that limit outdoor irrigation to two days per week. Napa’s Utilities Department is working to help residents make every drop count and reduce their personal water consumption through conservation tips, financial incentives, free water-saving devices, and educational opportunities. Visit the City’s Water Conservation page to learn more.

Napa's Redistricting ProcessWhat You Need To Know
Did you know that Napa started its redistricting process? Each public agency in California has to redistrict every 10 years after Census population data is released.
Public agencies have to follow certain rules when redrawing electoral districts to ensure equity and respect to local communities. Here are 5 facts about how Redistricting lines are drawn:
- Each district should share a common border with the next
- The geographic integrity of a city should minimize division
- Boundaries should be easily identifiable that follow natural or artificial barriers such as rivers, streets, highways and rail lines
- Lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness
- Boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party
Learn more about Napa's redistricting efforts at CityofNapa.org/Redistricting.
