There is still much to be done. Contamination of the groundwater in some areas of the San Gabriel Valley from agricultural fertilizers applied in years long past, septic tanks, as well as improper disposal of industrial solvents, refuse, and garbage in more recent times, now must be dealt with aggressively.

The District has been a leader in creating a mechanism to coordinate and implement projects to clean up this contamination and is committed to protecting the quality and quantity of the area's imported water, balancing the environment with the needs of recreation, agricultural, and the public.
