EID provides safe and reliable water, wastewater, and recycled water services to our customers. We also use our water supply for power generation and recreation.

Turn on the tap, water flows. Flush the toilet and wastewater leaves your home to be safely treated and reused as recycled water, or released to local creeks. With EID’s safe and reliable water and wastewater services, you don’t have to think about the quality, safety or the infrastructure that supplies your home, business, and community.

On October 20, consider what your day would be like if you turned on the tap and nothing came out and you didn’t have access to clean, safe water.

Without water, fire protection personnel would be unable to fight fires, hospitals could not function, you could not bathe or wash your hands, and food would not grow. Without clean and safe water, life is not possible.

Water infrastructure is vital to every household and community. As water infrastructure ages it needs to be replaced so that these services continue to be safe and reliable. EID staff works diligently and effectively to assess infrastructure needs and prioritize its maintenance, repair, and replacement. We also have highly skilled workers who operate our complex systems to keep water and wastewater services flowing 24/7, 365 days a year.

EID's website is full of information on how we prioritize the vital work of keeping the water delivery system in working order. You can also find the annual financial plan, operating budget, and capital improvement plans for infrastructure replacement and upgrades.

Imagine a Day Without Water provides opportunity to learn about water system infrastructure, and think about the impact of not having safe reliable water would be on you, your family, businesses, and community.
