Job: Human Resource/Risk & Safety Manager, East Valley Water District

East Valley Water District, a County District, was formed in 1954 by residents who wanted water service by a public agency. Originally called the East San Bernardino County Water District, the name was changed to East Valley Water District in 1982. The District was originally formed to provide domestic water service to the unincorporated and agricultural-based communities of Highland and East Highlands. Later, as the population increased, the need for a modern sewer system to replace existing septic tanks became apparent. EVWD provides two services, water and sewer to its residents.

The Mission at East Valley Water District is to provide customers with a safe and reliable water supply that is delivered at a fair and cost-effective price. Over the years, some of the District’s service area was annexed to the City of San Bernardino; however, water service remained with the District, primarily due to logistics and cost. In 1987, the City of Highland incorporated. The District’s service area is approximately 17,978 acres and has a service population of approximately 65,000.
