About Suburban Water Systems

Suburban Water Systems serves over 300,000 people in a service area covering all or portions of Glendora, Covina, West Covina, La Puente, Hacienda Heights, City of Industry, Whittier, La Mirada, La Habra, Buena Park, and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Groundwater comes from Suburban Water Systems-owned wells in the Main San Gabriel Basin and Central Basin. This water is supplemented with water purchased mainly from member agencies of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), Covina Irrigating Company, and California Domestic Water Company (Cal Domestic).

But our commitment goes beyond providing essential utility services. We care about the health and wellbeing of our customers, employees, and our environment. And we actively contribute to the communities where we live and work. This commitment is expressed in Our Vision, Mission & Values.
