We have recently completed work

The wildfires in Australia are devastating to witness. 15 million acres burnt, people who have lost their lives and nearly half a billion animals gone. San Jose Water has made a donation to the NSW Rural Fire Service, which supports the New South Wales area (one of the hardest hit).

Please consider joining us or donating to one of these other very worthy organizations:

After our stormy December weather and a very dry January, people are naturally wondering, “What’s happening?” While no one can predict how much rain and snow may fall in the next few months, it does have many of us wondering if this variable weather is the new normal in California.

December Conservation Results  

Hacienda Environmental Science Magnet Elementary School, a longtime Adopt-A-School partner, recently called SJW for help. Our Distribution Systems (DS) department responded with an enormous digging expedition!

The school has a unique one-acre Outdoor Classroom, which is celebrating a milestone golden anniversary. It all started 50 years ago when a teacher and supporting parents desired to convert a cement parking lot into a learning space.

SJW understands your concerns about recent rate increases and changes to your water bill*. Therefore, we’ve created a sample bill comparison that identifies the changes to your bill in 2019. 

We fully encourage and applaud our customers’ efforts to reduce their water consumption, as this will always be a vital step in combating drought in this region. However, water conservation is unrelated to the funding required to replace, repair and maintain the infrastructure that delivers reliable, clean, high quality water to your home.
