Perris, CA (November 19, 2020) — Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) today hosted its virtual State of the District event to provide key stakeholders and customers with information on how EMWD is working toward a more resilient future.

The biennial State of the District event was hosted virtually due to public health restrictions and to make the event accessible to all EMWD customers who want to learn more about how California’s sixth-largest retail water agency is working on their behalf.
