Welcome to the Burney Water District! Our District was formed in November 1944 through an act of the California State Legislature, per Water Code §34000 et seq. A publicly elected Board of Directors governs our District and open meetings are held each month.

Our water comes from deep wells and undergoes regular testing. Each year our customers are mailed a Water Quality Report showing the results of this testing. See the Water Quality section of this website for more information.
