Our Goal
Our highest priority is providing customers with a safe, reliable and sustainable water supply at reasonable and equitable costs. To achieve this, we:
- Invest in critical infrastructure and long-term planning
- Work collaboratively on projects that benefit the public
- Communicate openly about what we do, why we do it, and how we are progressing
Transparency is central to this commitment. One example is our Lead and Copper Rule monitoring program, which helps ensure drinking water safety throughout the community.
Systems Division
The Utilities Systems Division is responsible for delivering water and wastewater services directly to our customers and maintaining the infrastructure that supports those services.
This division includes:
- Water Transmission & Distribution
- Wastewater Collection
- Customer Services, including:

The City of Yuma works proactively to protect water quality throughout the distribution system. Programs such as cross-connection control and backflow prevention help reduce the risk of contamination and ensure compliance with federal and state drinking water regulations.
Treatment Division
The Treatment Division manages the City’s drinking water production and wastewater treatment operations, ensuring compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, including the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act.
This division includes the following core programs:
- Water Treatment: Responsible for producing safe, high-quality drinking water that meets or exceeds all regulatory standards before it is delivered to the community.
- Wastewater Treatment: Ensures wastewater is properly treated before being returned to the environment, protecting public health and local waterways.
- Industrial Pretreatment: Regulates industrial discharges to protect the wastewater system, treatment processes, and the environment, while maintaining compliance with federal pretreatment requirements.

Together, these programs ensure the City of Yuma’s water resources are managed safely, responsibly, and sustainably.
