2020 Annual Report
Covid-19 Response
The Water Authority and its member agencies partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to help deliver thousands of bags filled with food to residents. The bags included information about the safety and reliability of tap water in the region.
25,000 Masks Distributed to So. Cal. Agencies
In spring 2020, the Water Authority distributed 25,000 cloth masks to water and wastewater agency employees in six Southern California counties as part of the national effort to ensure essential workers had enough protective gear during the COVID-19 pandemic. The masks were delivered to public and private water and wastewater utilities in Mono, Inyo, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial counties. Water Authority staff created a drive-through operation to maintain physical distancing while handing out the facemasks.
“It’s a tall order, but one that leverages our core values of collaboration and communication on behalf of our community. It’s part of our duty as water and wastewater professionals to continue ensuring a clean, safe, and reliable water supply for our region – and beyond. ”
