Mesa Water has been, and continues to be, dedicated to providing you with safe and reliable water. Take a look at how we’ve grown to ensure we meet our community’s water needs.

With so many great things to celebrate at Mesa Water District over the past 60 years, we asked a few folks from the Mesa Water family: "What do you enjoy most about Mesa Water?"

Mesa Water District (Mesa Water®) was recognized as a 2019 Rose Award winner in the Orange County Taxpayers Association’s (OCTax) 9th Annual Roses, Radishes and the Royalty Award, for Mesa Water’s Business Improvement Process Implementation (BiPi), which has resulted in an estimated $6.3 million in cost savings for the District over ten years. The awards recognize the best of individual, business, and public agency taxpayer policy practices.

Mesa Water is excited to sponsor and support Vanguard University’s 23rd annual Christmas Fantasia at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The performance features beloved carols and musical masterpieces performed by Vanguard’s nationally known vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Proceeds of Fantasia support Vanguard’s music students, scholarships, and educational resources. Since 2015, Mesa Water has supported Fantasia and we look forward to many more years of partnership.

Mesa Water’s Neighborhood Chats were a big success with our community this summer. Join us for the next Neighborhood Chats taking place in February and March.

Here are a few water efficiency tips that will save you both water and money this winter season:

• During the winter months reduce your watering to once a week and keep sprinklers off during the rain to keep your garden healthy. Check out our Recommended Watering Schedule for guidance.
• Prevent overwatering by switching to a smart sprinkler timer. These devices water according to weather conditions and only when your landscape needs it. Rebates are available to offset the costs and information can be found at MesaWater.org/rebates.
• After you enjoy your holiday meal, try to reduce the number of loads of dishes you have to do and make sure your dishwasher is fully loaded every time you run it.
• Looking for the perfect gift? Water-efficient appliances can make great gifts and great water savers.

Mesa Water was once again thrilled to participate in the 72nd Annual Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions Club Fish Fry. Our booth featured the new and improved Prize Wheel, filled with water-saving tips and opportunities for the carnival goers to win a Mesa Water beach ball or rubber ducky.

The three-day event at Fairview Park featured an auction, a rib-eating contest, raffles, carnival rides, a car show and live music. Proceeds from the Fish Fry will help support local schools, clubs, and community organizations.

This summer, Mesa Water District (Mesa Water®) provided service to the community in more ways than one. We enjoyed participating in many community events throughout our service area including, Concerts in the Park, Orange County Fair, and Mesa Water Neighborhood Chats, where we connected with our residents about all things Mesa Water.

Costa Mesa High School’s (CMHS) Solar Cup team sailed to success at the 2019 Solar Cup competition, the nation’s largest student-based solar powered boat race. The seven-month program focusing on conservation, engineering, and problem solving culminated in a three-day competition at Lake Skinner, in Temecula Valley. Out of the 40 Southland high school teams, CMHS placed second overall and won first place for their PSA promoting efficient water use.
