Welcome...
East Valley Water District is a Special District,
formed in 1954 through an election by local residents who wanted
water service by a public water agency. Originally called the East
San Bernardino County Water District, the name was changed to East
Valley Water District in 1982. The District was originally formed
to provide domestic water service to the then unincorporated and
agriculturally-based communities of Highland and East Highland.
Later, as the population increased, the need for a modern sewer
system to replace the septic tanks became apparent. The residents
voted to give East Valley Water District the responsibility for
their sewer system, as they did earlier with their water service.
Over the years, some of the District's service area
was annexed to the City of San Bernardino, but water service remained
with the District, primarily due to logistics and cost. In 1987,
the City of Highland incorporated. Now, the District's previously
agriculturally dominated area is urbanized, and few orange groves
remain. Before September 2000, the District's service area was approximately
14,750 acres, or 28.5 square miles. An annexation in September 2000
increased to be District's service area by 3,228 acres and includes
the Greenspot area. The District has a service population of approximately
65,000 and collects no tax money. All services are financed solely
by rates - customers pay only for the benefits and services they
receive.
The forefathers of the East Valley Water District,
anticipating a higher demand and larger customer base, obtained
water rights that date back over 100 years for the use of surface
water from the Santa Ana River. This surface water meets a quarter
of the East Valley Water District's water needs.
