🌱💧 Turf transformation coming soon! Later this fall, Western Water will replace 8,860 sq. ft. of non-recreational grass with a water-wise landscape using designs from our landscape guide. This project will save an estimated 75,943 gallons of water annually, supporting state water regulations set for 2027. 🌍✨ The project begins later this fall, with completion expected by spring 2026. Together, we’re paving the way for a more sustainable future. Stay tuned for updates! Want to transform your own landscape? Learn about our turf replacement program at WesternWaterCA.gov/rebates.

About us
Providing reliable drinking water to our customers on a daily basis is fundamental to what we do. Western works to secure your water supply for the future as well as today. It takes engineering, infrastructure, responsible management and strategic governance to ensure the roughly 35 billion gallons of water we provide to nearly 1 million people in western Riverside County is safe, reliable and the highest quality 365 days a year. Western Municipal Water District (Western) was formed in 1954, and today provides reliable water and wastewater services to retail customers and wholesale agencies from Corona to Temecula. As a member agency of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the state’s largest water supplier, Western receives most of its water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta and from the Colorado River. Western supplies water on both a wholesale (eight agencies) and a retail basis (23,000 connections) to a region stretching 527-square miles in western Riverside County with an assessed valuation of $83 billion, and a population of nearly 1 million people. This regional area includes the cities of Corona, Norco and Riverside and the water agencies serving Box Springs, Eagle Valley, Lake Elsinore, Lee Lake and Temecula. We are governed by a five-person Board of Directors, elected to four-year terms by registered voters in the five election divisions. Western is securing your water supply for today and tomorrow.

Congratulations to Adán Ortega Jr., on his re-election as Chair of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. With the complex challenges our region faces, strong leadership will be critical to ensuring that we can meet the water needs of the 19 million customers served by Metropolitan. With our growing communities in Southwest Riverside County relying on both imported and local water, we’re excited to collaborate on important initiatives. Here’s to another successful term of working together and making a lasting difference for our region.
Board reelects Adán Ortega Jr. as chair for two more years. “I have strived over the past two years to support everyone having a voice that is heard by all – my colleagues on the board, our member agency managers, Metropolitan’s staff, and members of the community, far and wide,” Ortega said. “This effort is becoming stronger. For the first time in about 50 years, all 26 member agencies agreed on the urgency of modifying our business model to meet the climate challenge." Read more: https://lnkd.in/gdJYjMbH

We 🤎 our wastewater team and the vital role they play in protecting public health and the environment. Day in and day out, they ensure that all of the wastewater from homes, schools, and businesses is safely collected and delivered to treatment facilities. 💩 Just like providing clean drinking water, wastewater treatment requires the same level of precision and care. Through this process, harmful contaminants and solids are removed, allowing clean, treated water to safely reenter the ecosystem. This critical service helps keep our communities safe and our environment clean.🤝 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g3uu-fGY #WaterProfessionalsWeek #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater #ThankWaterPros #WorkForWater

Western Water’s regulatory compliance team ensures all operations adhere to state and federal regulations. We're constantly testing and monitoring to ensure every drop of water meets or exceeds the strictest health and environmental standards. That means you can confidently turn on the tap, knowing your water is clean, pure, and ready for you and your family. 🚰💧 A key task they do is inspecting fats, oils, and grease (FOG) at local food service establishments. These inspections help our partners keep the sewer system healthy by preventing blockages and overflows! 🤝 Check out their recent visit to General Old Golf Course in Riverside, where they inspected grease traps, drains, and oil disposal practices. 👀 Learn more about our FOG program at WesternWaterCA.gov/fog. #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater #ThankWaterPros #WorkForWater #WaterProfessionalsWeek
