The Water Utility provides water services to residents and businesses in the City of Santa Clara. The Water System consists of approximately:

• 335 miles of water mains
• 26 wells
• 7 storage tanks with 29 million gallons of water capacity

Sources available to the City include an extensive local underground aquifer and imported water supplies delivered by two wholesale water agencies:

1. Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water)
2. San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Hetch Hetchy system

The City operates 26 wells that tap the underground aquifers, making up over 60% of the City's potable water supply. The water recharge program administered by Valley Water from local reservoirs, plus imported water, enhance the dependability of our underground aquifer. SFPUC and Valley Water provide imported water for the remaining supply.

Certain approved non-potable applications use recycled water from the San José/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility. This highly treated water makes up over 15% of the water sales in Santa Clara, travelling through separate pipelines. A reliable source for conservation of potable sources, recycled water offsets the use of potable sources in drought-prone California.
