Fallbrook Public Utility District operates as a public agency under
the Public Utility District Act of the State of California. Fallbrook Public
Utility District was incorporated as a political subdivision of the State of
California in 1922.
Presently the District operates under the provision of the Public Utility
District Act. The District was formed to provide water to the community of
Fallbrook. Originally, the delivered water was drawn from wells in the San Luis
Rey Valley. Since that time, the District has abandoned those well fields and
imports all of the potable water to the community.
The District has also expanded its services and treats sewage and provides
recycled water. FPUD imports water from the Colorado River and the State Water
Project. The imported water is delivered by the San Diego County Water
Authority, which is the largest single customer of the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California. All of the potable water distributed by FPUD
is treated at the Lake Skinner Filtration plant, just east of Temecula.
The treated water quality surpasses all federal, state, and local water quality
standards and regulations. FPUD delivers water to some 35,000 people over a
28,000 square acre service area.The District has no regulatory authority over
wells or septic tanks.
