TID Water & Power Podcast
There’s a lot more involved with delivering power than turning on a light switch. And the water that flows through the canals throughout the Turlock Irrigation District service area, where does that come from? Each month the TID Water & Power Podcast sits down with industry experts and TID employees to discuss fascinating facts and important issues that shape the operations of your community-owned utility. Let’s get social! Facebook: @TurlockID Instagram: @TurlockID Twitter: @TurlockID LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/turlockid Find out more about TID at www.TID.org.
