EMWD invites you to join us for our biennial State of the District event. On November 18, 2020, EMWD will provide our community with an update on how we are continuing to provide safe and reliable water, wastewater and recycled water services today and for future generations. The event will be available on EMWD's website and will also be archived to view in the future. The program will highlight many of EMWD's successes this year, including our infrastructure projects that are part of our expanded Groundwater Reliability Plus portfolio.
