Message from the General Manager

Welcome to the Long Beach Water Department website. Since the spring of 2007, Long Beach Water has embarked upon a comprehensive and permanent city-wide water conservation effort. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from Long Beach residents and businesses, this undertaking has been a huge success, with new water conservation records being set almost every month since the program’s inception. With the current water crisis situation looming over the region, it becomes even more important that we strive for continual improvement in how we use and save this limited resource.

I am very proud of our accomplishments over the past four years and say with great satisfaction that the City of Long Beach has become the nation’s standard for effective, grass-roots level water conservation. Other municipalities and water agencies have begun to recognize our achievements, and we are frequently asked to explain the methods behind our successful program.

Along with our conservation efforts, the Long Beach Water Department will continue to provide clean, high-quality water at cost-effective prices to our customers. We also pride ourselves on maintaining high customer satisfaction rates.

The Long Beach Water Department recognizes that the people who live and work in Long Beach are not only our customers, but are our partners for the future. Our conservation successes are due in large part to your active participation. We look forward to working with you and for you in the year 2011 and beyond.
