What is San Jose Water doing to ensure customers are protected from COVID-19?

While monitoring the state and national advisories regarding COVID-19, we have shared with our employees the preventative measures provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on how they can minimize the risk of catching COVID-19. San Jose Water also has robust emergency operations and business continuity plans that include the possibility of a pandemic. We have already and will continue to update them for COVID-19 as necessary to meet our service obligations to our customers and communities.

Protecting Our Employees

Please practice social distancing guidelines (staying 6 feet away) when you see SJW employees in the field.
