Where does my water come from?
The Coachella Valley Water District relies on 3 sources of water to provide service to its customers: groundwater, recycled water, and imported water either through the State Water Project or from the Colorado River via the Coachella Canal, a branch of the All-American Canal.

Fields of Service
Coachella Valley Water District first ventured into providing drinking water to Coachella Valley residents in 1961, when it took over the operations of 2 privately held water companies. At the time it served only 1,100 active water meters. Today, the district is the largest provider of drinking water in the Coachella Valley.
