Our Desert and High Desert Coverage Area
Recharged and Adjudicated Basins
Coachella Valley agencies recharge the basin with exchanged Colorado River water, the Mojave and Antelope Valley basins are managed under court judgments, and El Centro treats Colorado River water from canals. Check your bill for your provider.
Extreme Heat, Wind and Cold Nights
Summer highs above 110 degrees bake hose bibs and overheat attic lines, and high-desert winters bring freezing nights and constant wind. Insulate exposed lines and check fittings each season.
Hard Water and Scale
Desert groundwater is hard. Scale builds quickly in heaters, evaporative coolers and fixtures, so flush tanks yearly and descale tankless units.
Second Homes, Rentals and Large Lots
Many desert homes sit empty in summer, and large lots may use private wells or septic systems. Shut the main off when leaving and test well water before buying.

Where does Coachella Valley water come from?
