SWP (State Water Project) contractors

SWP (State Water Project) contractors are a diverse group of government agencies, local water districts, and municipalities that have agreements to receive imported water from California’s State Water Project. The SWP is a large system of reservoirs and canals that transports water from Northern California to Central and Southern California. Contractors pay for the water and infrastructure maintenance, and in return, they receive a reliable supply to meet municipal, agricultural, and environmental needs. Essentially, they are the entities that rely on and manage a portion of the water delivered through this statewide system to support their communities and economies.
