Have you ever wondered how far water needs to travel to get to your faucet or where the stuff in your toilet goes after you flush? 

 

We often take these daily occurrences for granted and we assume the resources and infrastructure needed to provide water and wastewater services will always be there. You might also wonder…who or what entity ensures that you’ll always have access to safe drinking water and that sewage you create will be safely diverted away from your home and treated in an environmentally responsible manner. Crescenta Valley Water District (CVWD) takes great pride in providing these critical functions to the community.
