Doing Business With Us
One out of every two Californians depends on Metropolitan and its member agencies for safe and reliable drinking water. That is a big responsibility, and in meeting it, Metropolitan sometimes sources and acquires goods and services from outside partners. Equally important to our job delivering water, it is our fiduciary responsibility to the public. So when we acquire such outside goods and services, Metropolitan is committed to contracting the best possible product or resource, while maintaining our fiscal integrity through policies and procedures designed to maintain the public trust.
