At The Source: Reflections From The GM


At Rowland Water District, delivering safe, clean, and reliable water isn’t just our mission—it is our promise. Your water comes from a blend of sources including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the Colorado River Aqueduct, and local supplies like the Main San Gabriel Basin. This diverse portfolio strengthens our resilience and helps safeguard your water through changing conditions.


We have worked to make significant strides in system reliability and sustainability in recent years. As an integral partner in the Puente Basin Water Agency, we have advanced regional collaboration—repairing the critical Old Baldy Well, identifying new water supply opportunities, and championing California’s new regulations Making Conservation a California Way of Life so that together we can stay ahead of state mandates. From education programs and rebate opportunities to community partnerships and online tools, we are empowering you and your family to be part of the water savings solution.


We are making major capital investments to ensure long-term reliability, including the rebuild of the Cuatro Booster Station. These improvements are part of a broader commitment — such as the Six Basins Regional initiative, recycled water expansion, groundwater banking, and advanced treatment technologies—all guided by our 5th edition of our Strategic Plan, Effective Action for Sustainable Progress. We also modernized metering systems, secured FEMA funding, and continue rehabilitating reservoirs and upgrading pipelines to strengthen system performance for years to come.


We also understand that open, accessible communication builds trust. That is why we are enhancing our digital tools—including redesigning our website at www.rwd.org and an investment in an upcoming online platform designed to let you monitor your water consumption—to provide real-time insight and make it easier than ever for you to stay informed and engaged.


Water quality remains at the heart of everything we do. We rigorously test and monitor our systems to ensure your water meets or exceeds all state and federal standards. And as regulations evolve, we are staying ahead by adopting emerging contaminant treatment technologies—so you can trust every drop.


Behind this work is a team of dedicated professionals whose expertise and commitment keep your water safe. We view water as more than a service—it’s a shared responsibility. Through collaboration, innovation, and our core values guiding WHO we are: Welcoming, Humble and Original, we are securing a sustainable water future for generations to come.


Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work together to protect and sustain our most vital resource—today and for the future.
