The Mission Springs Water District (District or MSWD) is a County Water District established in 1953 and was formerly known as Desert Hot Springs County Water District. The District’s water and sewer service area consists of 135 square miles including the City of Desert Hot Springs, 10 smaller communities in Riverside County, and communities in the City of Palm Springs. The District’s water supply source is 100 percent groundwater produced from District-owned and operated wells. The District provides water service to approximately 37,600 people in their water service area. The District also provides sewer service to approximately 26,000 people in Desert Hot Springs, Desert Crest Country Club and Dillon Mobile Home Park.

MSWD offices are located in Desert Hot Springs, California. MSWD water supply and distribution system includes three separate and distinct water supply and distribution systems with the largest of the three systems serving the community of Desert Hot Springs; the surrounding communities of West Garnet (located south of Interstate 10 (I-10) and West of Indian Avenue); and North Palm Springs. The two smaller systems, Palm Springs Crest System and West Palm Springs Village System, are located approximately five miles west of Desert Hot Springs. These two communities are located on the north side of I-10 abutting the Morongo Indian Reservation.

The existing Desert Hot Springs and surrounding area water distribution system serves up to 24 different pressure service zones through either a primary pressure zone or a reduced pressure service zone. The MSWD system, inclusive of all three distribution systems, has approximately 1.26 million linear feet of pipeline. District facilities within each pressure zone include supply, storage, booster station, and distribution system components.
