Ever notice water tanks as you drive through town or take a walk through your neighborhood? These tanks are crucial to storing water that our community uses every day. We operate 78 water storage tanks in our area. Each tank is strategically built to serve the unique hydrological needs of the surrounding area.

Last month we announced that we received recognition and recertification by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) for our industry-leading safety achievements. Learn more about our safety program and why it plays such an important part in our culture.

Happy #NationalWildlifeRefuge Week! Our wetlands facility, located at our San Jacinto Regional Water Reclamation Facility, offers a lush habitat for migratory fowl, shore birds, raptors and even Bald Eagles along the Pacific Flyway. The wetlands also provide a low-tech, low-energy method to treat the wastewater, naturally removing nitrates and nitrites via bulrush, as well as a unique research station for the development of new innovations in water and wastewater treatment. Our wetlands facility is also home to EMWD’s water education center, which features numerous hands-on activities where students experience an exciting day and increase their knowledge. EMWD also hosts seasonal bird-watching tours led by experienced National Audubon Society members.
