Water Conservation in Montclair

The City of Montclair (City) considers wise water usage a priority and has a proactive approach to water conservation, including the use of weather-based irrigation controllers, low-water consumption plants in all new development areas, and the use of recycled water for most City landscapes- including City parks.

The City is dedicated to partnering with the Montclair community, Monte Vista Water District (MVWD), and the Chino Basin Water Conservation District (CBWCD) to become more water-efficient. City staff encourages all local residents to engage with MVWD and CBWCD for best-practice tips and water conservation  information.

Monte Vista Water District

Monte Vista Water District (MVWD) provides water service to Montclair residents, businesses, and schools. MVWD offers a variety of conservation tips as well as best practices that are in place year-round to improve water efficiency and reduce water waste.

There are currently no water use restrictions in place, but MVWD recommends seasonal watering schedules that account for weather and time of day.

More information about MVWD’s free conservation programs, resources, and watering schedules can be found at www.mvwd.org.

Chino Basin Water Conservation District Community Garden

The Chino Basin Water Conservation District has been protecting and replenishing our local groundwater since 1949. The Chino Basin is one of Southern California's largest groundwater basins or aquifers. Groundwater, which is water contained in between soils and gravels in the ground beneath our communities, is pumped up, cleaned, and distributed to us by our local water agencies. The Chino Groundwater Basin contains approximately 5 million acre-feet of water. However, only approximately 90,000 acre-feet of that water can be used in a single year for the basin to remain sustainably managed and to ensure this resource is not depleted over time. The Basin serves the communities of Montclair, Upland, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, and Chino Hills and helps each of these cities navigate droughts.

The Chino Basin Water Conservation District maintains a series of infiltration basins along the creeks and channels that run through our region, capturing water and storing it in the aquifer for later use. The District offers free resources and workshops to the community through the Waterwise Community Center to assist constituents in using that groundwater wisely in every home, business, and neighborhood.
