San Juan Water District

Pool covers reduce evaporation and can save up to 3,000 gallons of water per month.

We’re always working behind the scenes to deliver the highest quality drinking water to our customers.

In May, our water treatment plant team focused on disinfecting the South Filter following important maintenance and repair work completed earlier this year. Throughout the week, staff worked together to complete the process safely and efficiently. This included system monitoring, operational checks, and water quality sampling.

Projects like this help ensure our facilities continue to operate reliably while protecting the quality of the water we deliver to our customers.

Water evaporates more quickly on windy or warm days.

Our field staff are out in the community every day working to maintain and improve our water system. Our staff will always identify themselves, or you can check for their San Juan Water District badge and logo on their truck. Learn more at: www.SJWD.org/General-FAQs.

Watering in the cool parts of the morning can save up to 50 gallons each time.

Our Board of Directors meets tonight at 6 p.m. Join us in person at our District office or watch online. For more information and to view the meeting agenda, visit www.SJWD.org/Board-Meetings.

Today is World Bee Day! 🐝That familiar buzz you hear is a sign your yard is supporting pollinators.

California is home to about 1,600 native bee species. Adding native plants creates a habitat for bees, as well as birds and butterflies, while using less water.

Recent storms brought significant rainfall to the region, and with it, additional work to maintain our critical water infrastructure – like the Hinkle Reservoir! Behind the scenes, our treatment and maintenance teams are actively managing storm impacts by removing excess rainwater to ensure the facility continues to operate as intended. This type of ongoing maintenance protects essential systems and keeps them in good working condition.
