We partner with water agencies to conserve and plan for the future of our communities and environment.

We establish goals for health and wellness and remove physical and psychological barriers to healthy habits.

Countywide Water Inventory: A group made up of the county's water agencies, business representatives and other stakeholders was formed to come up with solutions to challenges faced by our growing county as it strives to meet water needs.

The group determined that acting separately, the county would not have enough water through 2035, but when water agencies' resources are combined, more than enough water exists to meet the needs of San Bernardino County residents and businesses through 2035. But that is only if water users step-up conservation efforts and the public and local government leaders are willing to invest in projects that will store and protect additional water supplies.

In December 2012, the Countywide Water Inventory was honored when it earned the 2012 Good Government Award from the Building Industry Association Baldy View Chapter.
