Water Conservation is Everyone's Job

Thank you for all your water conservation efforts, we are all in this drought together. Our water is a finite and precious resource, it is our job to help protect it, use it wisely.

• Did you know that 80% of household water is used outside?
• We have been doubly blessed with two groundwater basins under our feet, a hot water and a cold water, you could say we all walk on water! 

Nancy is a founding member of the Desert Hot Springs Groundwater Guardians for 23 years, educating people and inspiring action to ensure sustainable clean groundwater for future generations. She was honored to serve on the national Groundwater Foundation Board of Directors for 9 years. 

Mission Springs Water District is custodian of two miraculous treasures — the hot and cold-water aquifers that provide our award-winning drinking water and the hot mineral water that distinguishes our spas and attracts visitors from around the country and around the world. 

MSWD takes great pride in winning multiple “Best Tasting Municipal Water” awards for our outstanding drinking water. Having entered the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition for the last 20 years, MSWD has brought home ten medals (more than any other municipal water purveyor in the world): the Gold Medal in 2020, 2004 and 1999; the Silver Medal in 2011, 2008, 2001 and 1997; and the Bronze Medal in 2022, 2018 and 2003.

Our extraordinary hot water aquifer is remarkable and unique, providing mineral-rich, crystal clear, odorless, natural hot mineral water to our many outstanding local hotels, spas, and RV parks. The water is pumped from the ground between 105° and 180°. The healing and stress-relieving properties of this wonderful water are well-documented and diligently protecting this resource is essential to the health and strength of the local economy.
