Pomona Valley Protective Association (PVPA) is a corporation established in 1910 by agricultural landowners to capture and percolate stormwater on PVPA lands to sustain the groundwater aquifer. This enables local groundwater producers to supply their communities with high-quality water and reliable water service at lower costs than imported water that is subject to delivery schedule variations. PVPA operates on a non-profit basis.The “Our Land” section includes a map and description of PVPA’s lands, which are located in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties within the jurisdictions of Claremont and Upland, respectively.

PVPA is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors representing seven major PVPA shareholders. The current shareholders, which own different numbers of shares are: the City of Upland, the City of Pomona, West End Consolidated Water Company, San Antonio Water Company, Pomona College, Golden State Water Company and American States Water Company. Although some shareholders are represented by more than one Director, no shareholder has a majority of shares and votes.

PVPA’s activities and ongoing water conservation mission, which is carried out in cooperation with other local agencies and water-related interests, are more fully described in the “About Us” section.
