Not all District records are considered public records and may be withheld from public review. For example, an employee’s personnel information is not public record.
No, but they are recommended to help reduce evaporation.
No. You may only apply once per address. If you would like to replace the turf in your front yard and backyard, you must apply for the rebate at the same time.
BBQ’s are provided at most of the park facilities. JCSD Parks and Recreation Department does not allow additional BBQ’s at the parks.
The Parks and Recreation Department does allow regular (non-water) bouncers with proof of insurance. Unfortunately, we do not allow dunk tanks, trains, or petting zoos due to various hazards to the park’s maintenance and participant safety.
We like your spirit, but for now, the answer is no. Recycled water operates on a separate system from drinking water. As a result, new pipes need to be installed to deliver the recycled water. Installing new piping to all homes would be expensive. Therefore, it makes more sense for users with the largest irrigation needs, such as parks, golf courses, and greenbelts to receive recycled water.
You can still wash your car at home as long as you use a hose fitted with a nozzle with an automatic shut-off valve.
Applications are only accepted for current job openings. New openings are typically posted on our website on Mondays, as they become open. Please check back periodically.
No, JCSD’s recycled water is not safe for people to drink. “Recycled Water” signs will be posted at all points where recycled water is used.
All organized activity must have a field use permit to utilize the fields.
The picnic shelter will not be available if it has been reserved prior to your event. However, if the picnic shelter has not been reserved, it is then available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Yes, JCSD removes graffiti on private property, with the property owner’s approval.
No. The pipes distributing recycled water are a purple color and are a separate system from pipes distributing drinking water. The purple color pipe is nationally recognized as recycled water to avoid potential cross connection to drinking water pipes. Many studies have been conducted on recycled water. To date, no health-related problems have been traced to any of the water recycling projects currently operating in California.
Yes. The use of recycled water for irrigation lessens the demand for drinking water, which reduces the amount of water being drawn from the local aquifer. Lessening the effects of drought and ensuring an adequate water supply are extremely important.
JCSD has a new Customer Care Program for low-income residential customers. Click HERE to read about it and see if you qualify. Please also visit the Conservation pages for water-saving tips and programs.
The Fiscal Year is from July 1 thru June 30. The budget process begins approximately around January with Special Board Meetings. In most cases, the reading of next year’s budget is read to the public at the first Regular Board Meeting in June and approved by the Board of Directors during the last Regular Board Meeting in June. Please see the current and past JCSD Budgets.
All water and sewer charges are approved by the Board of Directors.These charges are calculated on a monthly basis.
Water – Residents are charged a monthly service charge for the operations and maintenance of the meter and waterlines, as well as a monthly charge on consumption. Water Usage is based on a tiered rate.
Sewer – Residents are charged for the calculation based on:

The Agency owns approximately 2,000 streetlights in the Jurupa Valley area, and will be converting all of them to LED technology. Southern California Edison owns and operates streetlights on electrical distribution lines and these lights will not be converted as part of this program.
Background Screening is $20.00 and is good for one year from the approval date.
Yes, however, an additional facility fee is applied for those who reside outside of the JCSD Parks Territory. Those who reside within the JCSD Parks Territory have already paid this fee in the form of taxes.
JCSD does not have any restrictions for draining or filling swimming pools.
Yes. Recycled water is a reliable water supply source even during a drought. Even when there might be restrictions on drinking water, there are no restrictions for recycled water use.
Yes! Recycled water is permitted to be used for a wide range of applications, including landscape irrigation. As a responsible supplier of recycled water, JCSD will provide only highly treated, filtered, and disinfected water that meets all federal, state, and local regulations for use on parks, schools, landscape areas, golf courses, and as well as other commercial and industrial uses.
Absolutely. The water delivered to JCSD customers meets all State and Federal regulations and is continually tested to ensure its safety. Please see the current Consumer Confidence Report.
Yes. Lost and Found is located at the Eastvale Community Center, 13820 Schleisman Road, Eastvale CA 92880
JCSD has called upon its customers to voluntarily reduce water use by 15%. In addition, we ask customers to significantly reduce their water usage by adhering to the 4 days per week watering schedule and following the other provisions within JCSD’s Drought Response Level 2.
There is very minimal waste generated by the project. All existing HPS streetlights are disassembled and the associated materials are recycled and disposed of appropriately.
The customer’s responsibility starts on their side of meter. The district is responsible from the meter to the street connection. If you suspect a leak, please contact Customer Service at (951) 685-7434.
Tap water is mandated by law to meet strict standards and undergo frequent testing for various contaminants. Bottled water may have a different taste, but it isn’t inherently safer than tap water. In fact, it often originates from treated tap water that has been further processed to reduce harmless minerals like calcium.
Industrial Survey Forms are required for all non-residential facilities for new tenants, new accounts, changes in ownership, and/or tenant improvements for existing facilities within JCSD jurisdiction. This is any facility that changes ownership, makes changes to existing plumbing, adds or deletes a water/sewer service. Or makes any changes to production or equipment.

A pre-job or an are-design meeting is when the developer requests a meeting during the due-diligence/entitlement process; prior to requesting water/sewer availability & submitting plan check.
Pre-construction meetings are conducted for all tracts, parcel map and plot plan projects after the Water/Sewer Mylar’s & Material Submittals have been signed & approved by the District. The Development Supervisor or Representative conducts the pre-construction meeting (using the District’s Pre-Construction Meeting Agenda). The Development Supervisor, the District’s Inspector, the Developer’s Contractor, and the Developer’s Project Superintendent must be present at the pre-construction meeting. The pre-construction meeting is conducted at the job-site using the District’s “Pre-construction Meeting Agenda”, which lists pertinent discussion items. At the meeting, a copy of the pre-construction meeting agenda is provided to those in attendance. After the pre-construction meeting is complete, the District, along with the District’s Inspector, sets a start-work date within two (2) working days; and the Development Supervisor will sign and issue a notice-to-proceed to the Developer.
The Standards Manual is the Developer’s Handbook and Procedure Manual. This manual provides a detailed description of the procedures and policies to be followed during any Developer-funded project.
JCSD will no longer be watering ornamental turf located in street medians. We have also reduced the number of days parks are watered. However, because parks provide recreational activities, we will continue to maintain functional turf for community’s enjoyment while adhering to drought regulations. JCSD is in the process of developing a Recycled Water Project that will improve our water supply reliability and conserve potable water.
The statements are dated differently because the JCSD billing period is the first four Wednesdays of each month and each Wednesday may fall on different dates. All bills are due upon receipt and must be paid on or before the 26th day after the billing date to avoid late charges.
At Level 2, the following restrictions are in place:
- Ornamental landscape and turf irrigation can only be watered up to 4 days per week for no more than 10 minutes per station per day. We recommend splitting up the watering times and running your sprinklers several times for shorter periods (for example, run your irrigation for 5 minutes, twice a day).
- Irrigating landscape is limited to the hours between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Recycled water is treated wastewater that is safe for irrigation. It is not used for drinking water but instead transported through purple-colored pipes to select locations for limited uses. The use of purple pipes is used throughout communities to avoid potential cross connection to drinking water pipes. Recycled water is strictly federally, state, and locally regulated and monitored to meet all public health and safety guidelines.
The average size residential meter is a ¾”. However, meter size is determined by the property owner or the Developer’s Engineer.
The Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) Plant meets effluent (wastewater) and recycled water quality standards through its primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment processes. The Plan also has solids handling processes to thicken, digest, dewater, and dispose of solids produced from the wastewater. The processes of wastewater treatment are summarized as follows:
- Primary Treatment: Wastewater flow enters the treatment facility through two force mains. Primary treatment consists of coarse screening, grit removal, flow metering, primary clarification, and flow equalization.
- Secondary Treatment: After passing through the primary treatment processes, secondary treatment occurs through conventional activated sludge in two bio-reactors. The activated sludge then passes through secondary clarification, where return activated sludge is pumped back to the bio-reactors and waste activated sludge is sent to the digestion process.
- Tertiary Treatment: Effluent from the secondary clarifiers enters the tertiary treatment processes. This treatment consists of a flash mix station, where a coagulant can be injected if high turbidity is detected upstream or downstream of the filters. Flow then passes through tertiary filters, flow metering, and chlorine disinfection.
- Recycled Water: As part of JCSD’s proposed recycled water system, treated wastewater from the chlorine disinfection will then be delivered to the proposed recycled water storage and pumping system. This system consists of lift pumps, a storage tank, and the proposed recycled water distribution pumps.
The majority of streetlights in the Agency are High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights. Though they are the most common streetlight technology in most cities in Southern California and across the U.S., HPS streetlights are not the most efficient. The light distribution is limited and much of the light generated is either lost or not directed to the desired location in the roadway. In addition, HPS streetlights cast an orange light which makes identifying color very difficult.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology is the greatest advancement in lighting in modern times. The first LEDs were indicator lights in simple machines and then the technology was integrated into lighting applications in traffic signals. In the last 10 years LED technology has advanced to interior lighting and streetlight applications. LED streetlights are energy efficient, have a much longer lifetime than other traditional lighting technologies, and produce better color and light quality than typical High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights. All this equates to reduced energy consumption and reduced operating costs while delivering better light quality to residents.
Cities and Counties serve a broad array of purposes that protect the public health, safety and welfare of their residents. Special Districts, such as JCSD, serve a specific purpose; for JCSD the purpose is water, sewer, graffiti abatement, lighting maintenance, landscape maintenance, and parks and recreation services.
Similar to other communities, JCSD’s recycled water will be used to irrigate landscaping and grass areas at our local parks, schools, and greenbelts, as well as for landscaping areas at business and along roadway frontages and medium areas that are along the proposed pipeline alignments.
As long as the shelter equipment is in the same condition when you leave as when you arrived , you will be refunded your security deposit within 2 weeks. The repair costs, due to misuse of the parks, may exceed the security deposit cost and will be placed at the expense of the person responsible for the reservation.
Developers are required to obtain a Water/Sewer Availability letter for all projects that involve water and/or sewer services. To obtain a Water/Sewer Availability letter, please submit a letter to the District requesting availability within the project, describing the type of project, a map showing the property requiring water and/or sewer service and a $2,800.00 deposit for either Parcel Maps or Tract Maps. Once the request is received, the Development Consultants will provide feedback, if needed, and submit the request for approval to the Sewer and/or Water Committee and the Board of Directors. Please click here to view a sample availability letter.
The Board conducts public meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month. Additionally, the Board has several committees that focus on various areas/functions such as Water Operations, Sewer Operations, Parks and Recreations, etc. Two Board members are assigned to serve on various committees to provide an in-depth discussion on items brought forth to the committee. If items require action, it is then brought to the full Board for further discussion and action.
For positions with a closing date, applicants are notified of the status of their application via e-mail within 2 – 4 weeks of the closing date. For job openings that are continuous or “Open until filled”, applications are kept on file for six months.
JCSD tentatively expects to serve a portion of its customers with recycled water by 2023. For project updates and more information, please see our Recycled Water Project page.
The JCSD Recycled Water Program is currently in the preliminary design phase with construction to install the purple pipeline scheduled to begin late 2023. Distribution of the recycled water is expected to begin in early 2024.
The recycled water is collected and treated at the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCWRA) Treatment Plant located at the southern end of the City of Eastvale. Most of JCSD’s wastewater flows to this plant, where it is already treated to meet recycled water quality regulations.
JCSD is reaching out to specific public agencies, schools, and businesses that meet the required criteria and are located near the planned distribution pipeline that could receive and use recycled water. JCSD’s staff or contractors will contact these eligible users directly to discuss the project.
JCSD’s Inspector, JCSD’s Supervisor, or their representative, tract or job Superintendent, and a County of Riverside Transportation Department representative. For complete procedures for Pre-Construction Meetings, Video Inspections, Pre-Occupancy Inspections, Final Inspections for Tracks, Individual, Plot Plan and District Projects, please review the Procedures for Pre-Construction Meetings.
For more information about the LED street light conversion project please contact JCSD Finance Department, Jason Davis, (951) 685-7434 Ext 219 or by email at Jdavis@jcsd.us
On-call staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please call (951) 685-7434. An after-hours operator will take your information and contact the on-duty Park Maintenance staff.
If you suspect a leak, please contact Customer Service at (951) 685-7434.
The Board of Directors sets policy for the District. Fees, rates, and other charges are developed and adopted by the Board after careful analysis of operating cost, financing needs, industry practices, and input from the community.
You may be referring to the over-seeding process required to revive heavily used turf area that has been damaged or over used. Our goal is to maintain the parks for the enjoyment of the entire community and continue to follow the drought restrictions. Reseeding will only be conducted if it can be done while complying with drought regulations.
Both cities allow artificial turf; however, artificial turf is not ideal for our area since it heats to dangerous temperatures in the sun and leaks chemicals into the soil. Most brands of artificial turf do not allow as much rainfall to permeate into our precious groundwater reserve as native or drought-tolerant landscaping would, so JCSD does not offer any rebate incentives for switching to artificial turf.
Classes are most often canceled due to low enrollment; therefore, we strongly encourage those who reside within the JCSD parks territory to enroll before the session begins.
The LED conversion project will reduce streetlight energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and operating costs. LED streetlights will save energy, require less maintenance, and operate for over 20 years before needing to be replaced. This is compared to the existing HPS lights which need service or replacement every 3-5 years. In addition, LED streetlights will provide residents with better light quality on streets and roadways.
HPS streetlights produce an orange-yellow color due to the nature of the elements in the lamp. This color output makes it very difficult to see the natural colors of objects that are being lit by the streetlight – such as cars or pedestrians. LED streetlights emit a much more natural light, similar to moonlight, and the objects being lit look closer to their normal colors. This allows for much better visual perception and increases safety.
There are several reasons why your water may be shut off.
- There has been an emergency in your area and the water had to be shut off.
- Someone has turned off the valve to your home.
- Your billing statement has become past due and has been scheduled for the processing of nonpayment and the disconnection of the water service.
Please contact JCSD’s Customer Service Department if you have further questions at (951) 685-7434
Yes, applicants who are not chosen for an interview receive an e-mail notification.
JCSD will make every reasonable effort to contact customers regarding water-use violations. Before penalties are ever issued, JCSD will utilize several methods, including, but not limited to, personal contact, door hanger, letter, email, or phone to notify customers of correctable issues. Fines are listed in Ordinance Number 389 under Article 10.
No. Applications will not be accepted if they are dropped off in lieu of a completed online application. If special accommodations are necessary, please contact the Human Resources Department.
At this time, the hours and season for splash pads will remain the same. The splash pads use a recirculating system, and the water only runs when activated. It is a water-efficient system and is for the benefit of the entire community. Please contact our Parks and Recreation department at (951) 727-3524 or Parks@JCSD.us for the most up-to-date information on the Eastvale splash pad hours of operation.
At this time, developments are still being approved by each city we serve; however, for questions regarding the planning, design, review, and construction inspection of water and sewer facilities, or the facilitation of streetlights for developer-funded projects, please contact our Development Engineering Services department.
