San Bernardino Valley is the fifth largest of 27 State Water Contractors (SWC) that receive water from the SWP. Each SWC pays its proportionate share of the facilities necessary to deliver water into their service area. This “fixed” cost (similar to a home mortgage) pays for the infrastructure and is paid year-in and year-out, whether or not water is delivered. The costs were amortized over nearly 75 years, ending in 2035. When the last payment is made, the people in the San Bernardino valley will have invested over $2.2 billion in this crucial infrastructure.
Watershed Connect is a regional infrastructure program, a network of forward-looking projects designed to achieve water supply reliability, climate resilience, and long-term ecological health of the Upper Santa Ana River (Upper SAR) Watershed.
As a SAWPA member agency, SBVMWD coordinates across jurisdictions to manage water, reduce pollution, and protect this vital natural resource.
