Water Inspection Trips
Southern California receives water from various sources. Groundwater, groundwater recharge, and recycled water provide only half of Orange County’s supply. The remaining supply is imported from the Colorado River or Northern California.
Each year, Orange County elected officials, business leaders, community leaders, and others are invited to participate in inspection trips to key water facilities throughout the state of California. These trips are sponsored by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC).
The goal is to educate our stakeholders and to encourage critical dialogue about the future of our state’s water supply. By providing a valuable, first-hand look at the issues of water management, water quality, water supply, environmental restoration, agricultural challenges, and water conservation, guests will return from an inspection trip with a solid foundation of water knowledge and the ability to engage others in an important discussion about their local resources.
Due to the extreme popularity of this program, availability is limited and inclusion on any particular trip cannot be guaranteed. We do send out invitations several weeks in advance and reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Fill out the form below if you would like to be added to one or more of our interest lists.
