Serving the Community

San Bernardino Valley is a special district, which is a unique form of local government created to meet a specific need. The Agency’s responsibility to the public is to ensure the region has a reliable water supply. San Bernardino Valley manages the region’s long-term water supply by importing supplemental water from the California State Water Project (SWP) and by replenishing and managing the local groundwater basins.
