The $10.2 million grant will support critical infrastructure improvements in our service area, including replacing 26,000 feet of pipeline and supporting our consolidation efforts with the Hillcrest Mobile Home Park. These infrastructure projects will conjunctively contribute to regional collaboration efforts between South Mesa Water Company, San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency and San Bernardino Municipal Water District. All of these expand on our ability to provide clean, reliable water at an affordable price to our shareholders.

The groundbreaking event is scheduled for Friday, February 16, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The event will take place next to the Fourth Street Community Park in Calimesa. The parking area for the event is located at 960 4th Street, Calimesa, CA 92320. We will place signs to guide all attendees to an adjacent lot where we will set up a tent to host the special event.

Light snacks and refreshments will be served during the reception.

Thank you for your continued support of our water system’s efforts.

After careful consideration, we have deemed it necessary to increase our penalty rates in order to keep pace with the associated administrative costs. The cost of our late penalty has not been raised in many years, and it is no longer covering the expenses that are involved in providing these notices.

Beginning January 1, 2023, the initial late fee will be raised from $5.60 to $12. Door hanger fees will be raised from $10 to $30. We understand these are significant increases. They are reflective of the amount of inflation that has occurred since the last time these fees were adjusted, and are commensurate with the charges customers incur from other water districts in the region.

Additionally, please keep in mind that these penalty fees are always avoidable. We are here to help you. If you are unable to pay the total balance on your water account, you have options to avoid the additional financial burden caused by these fees. To set up payment arrangements or to make a request for a temporary grace period, please contact the office at (909) 795-2401, Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm, prior to the date that your bill is due. We offer a variety of payment options, including autopay by credit card or bank account.
