EMWD customers can do their part to help reduce salt in the local water cycle.

Self-regenerating water softeners can discharge up to a pound of salt into the wastewater collection system per day. Because the wastewater treatment process does not remove salts, that salt remains in recycled water and ultimately ends up back in local groundwater.

A salt-free anti-scaling device or a portable exchange tank water softening device may provide the same benefits, without the discharge of brine into the wastewater system.

You can learn more about the impacts of salinity on our website.
For the 16th consecutive year, EMWD has been recognized for its transparency efforts by the Government Finance Officers Association.

The 21,000 member organization presented EMWD with its Excellence in Financial Reporting Award for EMWD's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

The CAFR provides an easily readable and organized look at EMWD's financial positions and how EMWD is working to be good stewards of our ratepayer funds both now and in planning for the future.

To view EMWD's CAFR reports, please visit our website.
EMWD's operations staff will be featured on an upcoming segment on ABC 7 Los Angeles' Unsung Heroes for their work as essential workers during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

EMWD's water, wastewater and recycled water staff ensured the pipes kept flowing and customers could depend on us during these unprecedented times. Even as demands changed due to many residents working from home, our teams helped provide uninterrupted services at the times when our customers needed us most.

Be sure to follow our social media channels @EasternMuni and we'll post the segment when it airs.
