WATER FACTS ARE FUN! HERE'S ONE:
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.

While it's a lot of fun seeing this friendly fellow making his rounds and bringing smiles to the faces of our citizens, he also plays a very important role at the District. Teddy helps to get the message out to the community that there are many things that each of us can do to help improve the quality of our water resources and protect the Everglades watershed in which we live.
So,
you’ve decided that you want to help Teddy in his mission, but still
aren’t sure just how to do it?
Well, there are MANY simple things that you can do to
help!
We invite you to explore TEDDY'S PAGES along with Central Broward Water Control
District’s website to learn more . . .

TEDDY,
THE TURTLE, was
"born" in May 2000 after students
of Cooper City Elementary School helped the District come up with the name
for its new mascot.
Teddy, the
Turtle and District Commissioner Judy Bunce greeted visitors to Kid's Day
America in May! What a grand time they had
meeting the many children of
Davie and Cooper City!
On a beautiful April
afternoon, Teddy was visiting Griffin Elementary School
when he happened upon a burrowing owl standing guard above one of the
schoolhouse doors. Thanks to Griffin for protecting this special bird!
