About us

As a water wholesaler, the San Diego County Water Authority's mission is to provide a safe and reliable supply of water to its 24 member agencies in the San Diego region. The agencies are represented through the board of directors. A member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors also serves as a representative to the Water Authority board of directors.

The Water Authority was formed in 1944 by the California State Legislature, and operates under the County Water Authority Act, which can be found in the California State Water Code. The Water Authority is one member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and in its 60-year history the Water Authority has come to supply up to 90% of San Diego County's water.
