Mission of the Water District

The Water District was created by a public vote in its member cities nearly 50 years ago with the intent of helping the four member cities manage their water supply safely and cost-effectively. District objectives include:

  • To improve the quality and quantity of the water supply
  • To invest in water technology and infrastructure
  • To provide cost savings and stability for homes and businesses
  • To promote water conservation efforts

Our board of directors is elected to represent member cities, and each Director serves a 4-year term. Please visit www.sgvmwd.org for more information about our programs, operations, board of directors and management.

The California Drought – Part 1

The Governor's drought proclamation

There has been a lot of news recently about water shortages in California. On June 4, Governor Schwarzenegger made it official, declaring a drought in California. This proclamation will trigger water-efficiency and water conservation programs across California. Fortunately, the Water District’s member cities have planned ahead.

Water Conservation Tips for Homes and Businesses

Do you remember the days when you hated to wear a seat belt? Do you remember the days when gasoline was $2 a gallon? Have you changed your behavior when it comes to using seat belts? Are you driving differently or less due to the increasing cost of gasoline?

Dealing with water shortages and drought requires us to become better informed and to change our behavior. Did you know saving water is essential for our environment? Did you know saving water can save you money? One person can make a difference. Working together, residents and businesses can make a BIG difference.

H2OWL Program Set to Debut

The Water District has created a new water education and conservation program in partnership with its member cities and participating youth groups. The program features H2OWL, a new mascot that will visit schools, parks, and community and business events to increase awareness and participation in water conservation activities.
