Mesa Water is proud to once again support Costa Mesa High School students in the Solar Cup, the nation’s largest student-based solar-powered boat race. Students spend seven months designing and constructing a solar boat, which culminates in the Solar Cup competition on May 17-19, 2019, at Lake Skinner. The program allows students to apply engineering, math, and physics skills, while learning about water resources. Good luck, Mustangs!

More than 1,000 years ago Egyptians were among the first people to document the methods for drinking water. Back then, the most common way to clean water was to boil it over a fire, or use the heat of the sun. Today, water treatment is far more advanced, regulated and transparent. Mesa Water completes over 30,000 water quality tests a year. Mesa Water has been committed to producing safe, reliable drinking water for its customers for more than 55 years. Our customers enjoy high quality water that meets or surpasses all state and federal drinking water standards.

Make saving water your new year’s resolution for 2019 with these easy tips:

• Upgrade your old showerheads and faucet aerators with high-efficiency faucets.
• Check your toilets for leaks; replace your old one to get rebates!
• Do full loads of laundry, and use cold water if possible – this saves water and power.

Mesa Water provides FREE water saving devices and leak detection dry tablets. Be a Mesa Water Saver!

Mesa Water regularly responds to calls and reports regarding water leaks. If you suspect a leak, follow these steps: 1. Shut off all water. 2. Use your water meter to verify the leak and to determine if it is inside or outside the home. 3. Contact a qualified plumber. Mesa Water is available to assist with emergency shut offs 24 hours a day, but we do not perform repairs on private property.
