In order to follow the state and county shelter-in-place order, as well as to protect the health of our employees per CDC public health guidelines, we are suspending all non-emergency construction activity requiring field support by our engineering and construction teams until further notice.

Building for the Next Century

Making sure that our customers have safe, 清洁 and reliable water service means that our water system must be maintained and upgraded as time goes by. In our approximately 140 square mile service area, 有2个,400 miles of water mains, 106 tank and reservoirs, 20,143年龙头, 和35,143 valves - that’s a lot of infrastructure to maintain!

SJW understands your concerns about recent rate increases and changes to your water bill*. Therefore, we’ve created a sample bill comparison that identifies the changes to your bill in 2019. 

We fully encourage and applaud our customers’ efforts to reduce their water consumption, as this will always be a vital step in combating drought in this region. 然而, water conservation is unrelated to the funding required to replace, repair and maintain the infrastructure that delivers reliable, 清洁, high quality water to your home.
