Where can I dispose of hazardous items such as paint, solvent, bleach, antifreeze, chrome polish, motor oil, household cleaning products?
Hazardous products should be disposed of properly at a household hazardous waste collection center.  Please visit the Riverside County Household Hazardous Water Collection Program website at www.rivcoeh.org/hhhw.htm  Never pour any hazardous substance down the drain!

Is EVMWD subject to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC)?
No. EVMWD is a non-profit, public agency established in 1950 under California’s Municipal Water District Act of 1911. As a special district, elected representatives from five divisions have authority for setting EVMWD’s policies, rates, fees and charges. Board members are bound by law to protect the public interest.

Who sets the policies, rates, charges and fees of the district?

 
An elected Board of Directors representing five divisions within the district sets policy for the district. Rates, fees and charges  are developed and adopted by the Board after careful analysis of operating costs, financing needs and industry practices. The Board of Directors is duty bound to establish sound fiscal policies.
