Educational Water Tour Hosted by SGVMWD

On Wednesday, December 14, an educational water tour was organized by the SGVMWD and hosted by Director Raul Romero for member city Azusa. Future educational tours are being planned for the cities of Alhambra, Monterey Park and Sierra Madre.


Assemblyman Roger Hernandez (left of H2Owl) and Director Raul Romero (right of H2Owl) join guests at start of educational water tour.

Tour attendees stand on platform adjacent to Devil Canyon Power Plant where water imported via the State Water Project enters the Devil Canyon-Azusa pipeline owned and operated by SGVMWD.

The purpose of the educational tour was to travel the length of the District's pipeline from the point where the Devil Canyon-Azusa pipeline "connects" to the State Water Project (California Aqueduct) and then extends 30+ miles to the San Gabriel Spreading Grounds in Azusa so that guests would better understand the investment our member cities have made in water infrastructure and the diverse operations along the pipeline. Guests observed hydroelectric/green power facilities, pressure reducing stations, spreading grounds, water conservation education programs, and the District's computerized control headquarters.

The District invited elected officials, business leaders, pilot project partners and environmental groups to participate in the tour. Assemblyman Roger Hernandez and his staff were in attendance, as well as representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Judy Chu and Senator Ed Hernandez and representatives from Azusa Pacific University, the California Trail Users Coalition, the City of Azusa and Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District.
