The Agency is one of 29 State Water Contractors. Each contractor is responsible for the importation of water from Lake Oroville and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through the State Water Project into its service area. The first phase of the East Branch Extension, the pipeline that brings State Project Water into the Agency’s service area, was completed in 2003. The Agency sells this water to local water retailers to reduce local groundwater overdraft.
The San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency’s mission is to import supplemental water and to protect and enhance local water supplies for use by present and future water users and to sell imported water to local water districts within the service areas of the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency.

The San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency will partner with other local stakeholders to assure that growing regional water needs are met, optimizing the use of existing resources, without adverse impacts on local groundwater basins.

In order to bring this vision to fruition, we will:
  • Play a leadership role in managing local water resources.
  • Bring supplemental water to the region to meet short and long-term needs.
  • Develop and work from a financial plan to ensure that funding to reach our goals is available.
