THE DISTRICT

East Valley Water District was incorporated in 1954 under County Water District Laws. We provide water and sanitary sewer services to the City of Highland and the eastern portions of the City of San Bernardino, with a service population of approximately 104,000.

The District is a performance-based organization that delivers results. Recently online, the Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) is a state-of-the-art facility in Highland that provides a sustainable new water supply to the region. Capable of recycling up to 8 million gallons a day, the SNRC will recharge the local Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, produce renewable electricity, and create new opportunities for the surrounding community.

At the SNRC, the District employs advanced treatment processes such as membrane biological reactors and UV disinfection to ensure the highest standards of water quality. Additionally, the District is pioneering sustainable practices by incorporating imported high-strength organics, such as food waste, for co-digestion, leading to the generation of 3.0 MW of power.
