What does SCWD mean in COUNTIES

The Santiago County Water District (SCWD) is an agency dedicated to providing high quality water and wastewater services to customers in Santiago County. We strive to maintain a safe and reliable public water system that meets all state and federal regulations and standards.

SCWD's funding comes primarily from customer rates, general obligation bonds, assessments, grants, loans, and other sources. All revenue is reinvested back into system operations and improvements.

If you are experiencing an emergency with your water service, such as a broken line or contamination in your drinking water, please contact us at (000) 000-0000 immediately so we can address the issue quickly.

Conserving water is important for everyone! Some easy ways you can conserve include limiting time spent in the shower or bath, turning off the tap when brushing teeth or washing dishes and fixing any leaks promptly. Additionally consider collecting rainwater for use in gardening or collecting gray water for use in plants instead of sending it down the drain.

Payment for SCWD bills can be made online through our website www.scwd.org/payments/ or by mail using the envelope provided with your bill statement. You may also make payments over the phone by calling (000) 000-0000 Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm PST.

Plumbing maintenance is important in homes with older pipes as leaky pipes can lead to higher bills and unnecessary waste of energy and resources. Regularly inspecting your plumbing fixtures for signs of leakage such as persistent moisture or sounds of rushing air will help you save money on repairs down the line. It's also important to check seals periodically for blockages caused by mineral deposits build-up or debris buildup that may cause clogging issues later on.

Yes! SCWD tap water meets all health based standards set by regulatory agencies including those from The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additionally resources like Consumer Confidence Reports are released regularly which provide information on specific contaminants detected throughout our service area each year.

At SCWD we strive to involve children in educational activities that teach them about sustainability practices such as proper disposal methods, avoiding food waste and more! Our "Water Wonders" program provides fun activities such as hands-on experiments focusing on simple conservation techniques that kids will enjoy while learning more about their environment.
