Water Professionals Appreciation Week, which runs through Sunday, was established by the state legislature five years ago to highlight the important role of water industry professionals and local public water agencies in ensuring safe and reliable water, wastewater and recycled water in California. PWD provides safe, clean water to 126,000 people in Palmdale and surrounding unincorporated communities.
Due to COVID-19 protocols prohibiting large gatherings, PWD staff enjoyed sandwich/salad boxed lunches and received the cards to celebrate the week.
Having worked with Desert Willow on previous water-related projects, PWD reached out to the school to acquaint the students with the role of water professionals. The school is within the District’s service boundaries. Desert Willow, a fine arts, science and technology magnet academy, is one of five middle schools in Palmdale School District.
Since 1918, the Palmdale Water District has provided high-quality water at a reasonable cost. We pride ourselves on providing great customer care; advocating for local water issues that help our residents; educating the community on water-use efficiency; and leading our region in
researching and implementing emerging technologies that increase operational efficiency. For more information about PWD, visit
