RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The Water Zone radio show, sponsored by The Toro Company, has been presented with a special Congressional Recognition Certificate for “Outstanding Communications & Educational Outreach Regarding Water Issues & Policies.” The certificate was sponsored by U.S. Congressman Ken Calvert from California’s 42nd District.
