Who We Are

Today, the Agency is responsible for serving approximately 875,000 people over 242 square miles in western San Bernardino County. The Agency is focused on providing three key services: (1) treating wastewater and developing recycled water, local water resources, and conservation programs to reduce the region’s dependence on imported water supplies, thus enabling the service area to become drought-resilient; (2) converting biosolids and waste products into a high-quality compost made from recycled materials; and (3) generating electrical energy from renewable sources.

What We Do

The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA/Agency) seeks to fulfill its responsibility as a “Steward of the Region”; committed to sustainably enhancing the quality of life in the Inland Empire by ensuring that a clean, plentiful water supply is available now and in the future. Over the years, IEUA has taken a variety of responsibilities in order to better assure a sustainable water supply. This includes becoming a regional provider of wastewater treatment with domestic and industrial disposal systems, developing energy producing infrastructure, taking a leadership role in water resource management, and maintaining a high standard of community and educational outreach.

Formation & Purpose

The Agency was originally formed as the Chino Basin Municipal Water District on June 6, 1950 as a municipal corporation with a mission to supply supplemental imported water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) to municipalities in the Chino Groundwater Basin. Since then, the Agency has expanded its mission from a supplemental water supplier to include regional wastewater treatment with domestic and industrial disposal systems, and energy production facilities. In addition, the Agency has become a major provider of recycled water, a supplier of biosolids/compost materials and continues to lead the way in water quality management and environmental protection in the Inland Empire.
