Serving our Community
San Bernardino Valley is a special district, which is a unique form of the government created to meet a specific need. Our responsibility to the public is to ensure our region has a reliable water supply. Our agency manages the region’s long-term water supply by importing water from the California State Water Project (SWP) and by replenishing local groundwater basins.
Our Sensitive Species
We help protect sensitive species and their habitats through conservation efforts that balance environmental stewardship with regional water needs.
