Bringing Water to Southern California.
Our Mission
The mission of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is to provide its service area with adequate and reliable supplies of high-quality water to meet present and future needs in an environmentally and economically responsible way.
Securing Our Water Future
Metropolitan’s
Climate Adaptation
Master Plan
for Water
Climate change is here and it’s impacting all of our water resources.
Metropolitan’s responsibility as Southern California’s water importer and provider is to look decades ahead to ensure supplies remain reliable. That’s why we are developing the Climate Adaptation Master Plan for Water or CAMP4W – to adapt the way we deliver and store water for the realities of a changing climate. Watch an introductory video that outlines our commitment to securing our water future for generations to come.
The High Desert Water Bank
The High Desert Water Bank:
A Collaborative Effort
An exciting new project has emerged from the arid landscape in the sun-soaked desert of Lancaster — the High Desert Water Bank.
A collaborative effort between Metropolitan and the Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency, the first stage of the new groundwater storage project that significantly improves the resilience for Southern California's water supply is up and running.
Conservation Rebates
Drought Relief Grant:
Funds to Boost Rebates
Being prepared for a future of climate extremes requires partnership at all agency levels to strengthen our water resiliency and commitment to save water.
The California Department of Water Resources recently awarded Metropolitan $38 million from its Urban Community Drought Relief Program to support commercial turf replacement rebates and other conservation programs.
Project Labor Agreement
The Project Labor Agreement: A Year in Review
Metropolitan joined Building and Construction trades to sign an agreement in October 2022 with a focus on community, equity and outreach to underrepresented people focused on careers in construction. The Project Labor Agreement includes 34 Metropolitan projects aimed at making Southern California water supplies more resilient to a changing climate.
Let’s take a look at the impact of the PLA one year out.

the Future.
With a focus on areas of change and opportunity, Metropolitan - in an inclusive process - identified five strategic priorities that form an action-based framework for our approach to transformation.
