LVMWD Las Virgenes Municipal Water District serves the western edge of Los Angeles County including the cities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills and Westlake Village. The District occupies 123 square miles and serves a population of approximately 70,000. The District provides potable water, recycled water, and sanitation (wastewater) services to its customers through three separate enterprise funds. The sanitation and recycled water services are provided through a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with TWSD. LVMWD is organized under the Municipal Water District Act of 1911 (California Water Code section 71000 et seq.). A five-member board of directors, elected by geographic divisions, provides governance. Directors serve overlapping four-year terms, and every two years - concurrent with installation of the newly elected board – they select board officers. The board also selects a local representative from LVMWD to serve on the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. TWSD Triunfo Water and Sanitation District was organized November 12, 1963 as a special district to provide sanitary sewer services for the southeastern portion of Ventura County. Covering approximately 50 square miles, the District serves about 30,000 people in the areas of Oak Park, Lake Sherwood, Bell Canyon, Westlake Village, and the North Ranch portion of Thousand Oaks. TWSD is governed by a board of five directors, elected at large. The District provides wastewater collection and treatment, supplies potable water, and recycled water. The sanitation and recycled water services are provided through a JPA with the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. Las Virgenes – Triunfo Joint Powers Authority (JPA) In 1964, the Las Virgenes - Triunfo Joint Powers Authority (JPA) was established between LVMWD and TWSD to cooperatively treat wastewater for bordering areas within the Malibu Creek watershed. The JPA currently services over 103,000 residents of the Greater Los Angeles area and is governed by the combined Boards of LVMWD and TWSD. The JPA is the operating entity for wastewater treatment for both LVMWD and TWSD and its costs represent a significant component of both agencies’ sanitation rates. Per the JPA’s agreement, operating expenses are allocated between the two participants LVMWD and TWSD by approximately 70.6% and 29.4% respectively.
