SCV Water has a simple and straightforward mission: To provide responsible water stewardship that ensures the Santa Clarita Valley has reliable supplies of high-quality water at a reasonable cost.

As part of that mission, the Agency regularly evaluates the cost of providing service, to confirm that expenses are balanced with revenue so that we can adequately address system operations, maintenance and updates, meet government regulations and maintain financial stability.

The rates and fees here were adopted by the SCV Water Board of Directors on June 15, 2021, and will be in effect through June 30, 2026.
