About Sacramento Suburban Water District

The Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) is a publicly owned and operated water utility governed by a 5-member board of directors. SSWD was formed in 2002 by the consolidation of the Northridge Water District and the Arcade Water District. SSWD’s service area is approximately 36 square miles and has a population of nearly 200,000. SSWD’s water supply is primarily groundwater, but is supplemented by surface water when available — an approach termed conjunctive use. Conjunctive use was initiated to address declining groundwater levels resulting from many years of groundwater pumping by many entities. Through in-lieu groundwater recharge that was made possible by conjunctive use, SSWD has contributed significantly to a broad-based effort to arrest the groundwater decline.
