About Us

About US The WQA was established by the State Legislature (SB1679) on February 11, 1993 to develop, finance and implement groundwater treatment programs in the San Gabriel Basin. The WQA is under the direction and leadership of a 7-member board. The board is comprised of one member from each of the overlying municipal water districts, one from a city with prescriptive water pumping rights and one from a city without prescriptive water pumping rights, and two members representing water producers in the San Gabriel Basin.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to coordinate, plan, and implement groundwater quality management programs to efficiently remediate groundwater contamination and assist in preventing future contamination.

Our Goals

1: Coordinate groundwater cleanup
2: Inform the Public
3: Characterize groundwater contamination
4: Assist PRP’s and RP’s
5: Prevent or minimize migration of contamination
6: Remove contamination quickly and efficiently
7: Protect groundwater resources
8: Fund WQA projects and programs with outside money
