Board of Directors

The Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors is comprised of seven members, each elected from equally-divided districts drawn through a formal process. The purpose of the Board, on behalf of Santa Clara County, is to provide Silicon Valley safe, clean water for a healthy life, environment and economy.

The directors serve overlapping four-year terms, a structure created pursuant to the adoption of the District Act.
