DROUGHT IS HERE
Los Angeles County, including the Santa Clarita Valley, is experiencing an “exceptional drought” and it’s set to be the driest year on record. Our governor has also declared a drought emergency for most counties across the state and is calling on all Californians to voluntarily save 15% of their water use compared to 2020.

The good news is that SCV Water is drought-ready! Our dedicated SCV Water team has always planned for the (un)rainy day. We’ve been hard at work implementing strategies for drought resilient water supplies and water-wise initiatives.

WE'VE SAVED BEFORE, AND WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO DO IT AGAIN!

SCV WATER IS DROUGHT-READY
Through the years, SCV Water has invested in many water supply sources and strategies for drought-resilient water supplies to make sure our customers have enough water now and for years to come.

Participation in “water banking” means we have supplies stored and available in underground aquifers in Kern County, ready to withdraw in dry years such as this. 

Our Water Shortage Contingency Plan proactively ensures adequate water supplies in the event of a shortage caused by a drought, earthquake, fire or other catastrophic event.

Our Groundwater Sustainability Plan and Urban Water Management Plan direct long-term resource planning to guarantee water supplies are available to meet future water needs.
