Government Affairs
For more than 100 years, the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) has been dedicated to protecting the water resources essential for a thriving Coachella Valley. To continue this mission, CVWD employs a full-time Government Affairs Program Manager who works closely with lobbyists in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. These professionals track policies and advocate on behalf of CVWD customers to ensure that CVWD’s needs are represented at every level of government.
On this page, you’ll find details about the position letters and policy statements CVWD has sent to California legislators, members of Congress, and other governing bodies. These communications address issues that impact the District’s ability to provide safe, affordable, reliable drinking water, as well as sewer and stormwater services to our community.
If you have questions about CVWD’s positions on any legislative or regulatory matters—or if you'd like to request the District take action—please reach out to our Government Affairs team at 760-398-2661, ext. 3564, or email us at governmentaffairs@cvwd.org.
