RWD Marks Drinking Water Week by Celebrating What Customers Can Count On
ROWLAND HEIGHTS, CA (May 7, 2026) — You budget for groceries. You comparison-shop for gas. But when was the last time you thought about the cost of the water pouring from your tap?
This Drinking Water Week (May 3–9), Rowland Water District (RWD) is inviting customers to do the math. For less than a penny per gallon, every home in the RWD service area receives water that is tested, treated, and verified safe before it ever reaches a faucet. It arrives on demand, around the clock, every day of the year.
“People trust us with something fundamental. It’s the water their children drink, the water they cook with, the water that starts their morning,” said Elisabeth Mendez, RWD Compliance and Safety Manager. “That trust drives every test we run, every report we file, and every early morning our team spends ensuring the system performs exactly as it should. Safe water is a daily commitment.”
That commitment is documented in the District’s Annual Water Quality Report, a plain-language accounting of what is in the water, where it comes from, and how it measures against state and federal standards. The 2025 report will be available to all customers beginning July 1, 2026.
Drinking Water Week is observed nationally each May, led by the American Water Works Association to recognize the professionals and infrastructure behind safe, reliable tap water. For Rowland Water District, the message is simple: clean, dependable water at a fair price, delivered every day.
