Our mission statement:

VVWRA is committed to protecting public health and the environment in the Victor Valley by providing effective and fiscally responsible wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling.

Our core values:

• Collaboration...working together towards a common goal.
• Dedication...devoting oneself to a particular purpose.

Wastewater is much more than what comes from your toilet. It includes water from your sink, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines. Anything that goes down the sewer pipe. The wastewater originates from homes and businesses in Victorville, Apple Valley, Hesperia, and various areas of San Bernardino County, including Spring Valley Lake and Oro Grande. The wastewater that comes to the VVWRA plant goes through an extensive cleaning and disinfection process before being returned to the Mojave River as recycled water. The solids are treated in large anaerobic digesters, where the resulting methane gas is collected and scrubbed before becoming renewable natural gas (RNG). The finished RNG is injected into a Southwest Gas pipeline.
