TEMECULA — The Rancho California Water District (Rancho Water/District) and Post and Jam LLC (Post and Jam) media productions company were the recipients of Emmy Awards at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) ceremony on Saturday, June 15, 2024. The Pacific Southwest (PSW) chapter presented both agencies with awards for the category of Public Service Announcement for the “Be a Water Hero” communications campaign.
