JOIN US FOR A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOP ABOUT PROPOSED WATER RATE CHANGES

Workshop Scheduled for Wed., March 5 at 6 p.m.

SCV Water recently released its Proposition 218 notice (pursuant to California constitution Article XIII D). Under the terms of the proposition, SCV Water is required to notify property owners and customers of record about the proposed changes to property-related fees, such as water service. This is part of the Agency's regular evaluation of the cost of providing service, to confirm that expenses are balanced with revenue so that it can adequately address system operations, maintenance and updates, meet government regulations, and maintain financial stability.


Virtual Community Workshop

Prior to the Public Hearing scheduled for Tuesday, April 1, 2025, SCV Water will host its second virtual community workshop, via Zoom, that will discuss the proposed water rate changes for Fiscal Years 2025/26 through 2029/30. To register, please click on the button below.

Wed., March 5, 2025* 6 to 7 p.m.

*The presentation will be recorded and shared on the Agency's website

ICYMI: The Signal's SCV Voices

SCV Water: Committed to Reliability

At the start of the year, we watched in horror as tragic fires devastated communities to the south of us. Not long after, our own valley was threatened by the Hughes Fire, which thankfully did not bring the same level of destruction. 


Before the Hughes Fire started – and during the emergency itself – we all wondered if what we saw in the Palisades and Altadena could happen to us. 


We immediately got questions from our neighbors. Will our hydrants work? Will our reservoirs go dry, too? People were rightly worried. 


While there’s a lot to worry about these days, locally a lot of things are being done well. At the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency, our mission has long been providing reliable supplies of high-quality water at a reasonable cost. 


What does “reliable” mean? To SCV Water, it means being here for you and to make sure we have water despite droughts, emergencies, and other challenges on the horizon.

Delta Conveyance Project Checks Off Another Milestone

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) under Section 2081 of the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) for the Delta Conveyance Project. Completion of this permit is an important milestone in the planning process, advancing this critical project closer to implementation. 


Under CESA, DWR is required to obtain an ITP to minimize, avoid, and fully mitigate impacts to threatened or endangered species as a result of the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Delta Conveyance Project.
