Metropolitan Water District

The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is a regional agency in Southern California responsible for providing water to millions of residents. Established in 1928, it sources water from various supply methods, including the Colorado River and the State Water Project. MWD serves as a wholesale supplier, distributing water to 26 member agencies, which then deliver it to homes and businesses. By managing water resources and promoting conservation, the MWD plays a crucial role in ensuring a reliable water supply for the growing population in this water-scarce region.
