At Vallecitos, the health and safety of our community is our top priority. In order to minimize exposure and slow the spread of COVID-19, the District's lobby is now closed to the public. Customers may still interact with Vallecitos staff via phone at (760) 744-0460 or by email. Water bills can be paid in a variety of ways that do not involve visiting District offices, such as online billing or using our drop-box outside. Learn more about payment options...

  • Water service remains unaffected so customers can continue to use and drink water from their tap as usual.  Learn more...
  • Board of Directors meetings will be teleconferenced until further notice. Learn more...

To further encourage customers to reduce outdoor water use, Vallecitos participates in a regional "WaterSmart" landscape contest to award customers whose yards best exhibit the beauty of California-friendly, low-water gardening. Vallecitos' first place winner receives a $250 gift certificate to a local nursery and recognition at a Vallecitos Board meeting. Second and third place winners also earn gift certificates (in lesser amounts).  If you're proud of your water-wise yard, we encourage you to enter the contest!

Congratulations to our last winners!

  • First place - Rhonda Holmes and Jeff Jenco
  • Second place - Dennis and Shannon Root
  • Third place - Patti Joyce and Jeffrey Moore
