KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

A tenant has the right to become a customer without being required to pay an owner’s delinquent bill. If you are a current tenant and are in a situation where water service may be discontinued, please call us at (760) 391-9600 to learn how to establish an account in your name. All applicants must meet the Coachella Valley Water District’s requirements for establishing service. If the current owner’s account is not delinquent, tenants must have authorization from the property owner in order to establish service.
