Welcome

The Water Facilities Authority (Authority) is a Joint Powers Authority governed by its member agencies: Chino, Chino Hills, Monte Vista Water District, Ontario, and Upland. Its service area covers approximately 135 square miles within the upper Santa Ana River watershed. The Authority owns and operates a surface water treatment plant called Agua de Lejos Treatment Plant, which began operations in 1988 and is located in the City of Upland. This treatment plant treats and disinfects imported water supplies, primarily state project water, purchased from Metropolitan Water District to supplement local groundwater supplies. Through its members, the Authority indirectly serves more than 450,000 people in the west-end of San Bernardino County.
