The Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency (Yucaipa SGMA) was formed in 2017 in response to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on September 16, 2014. The Yucaipa SGMA consists of the following eight partners that act as the board of directors of the regional agency:
Retail Water Agencies:
Cities:
State Water Contractors:
The goal of the Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency is responsible for the management of local groundwater resources in the Yucaipa Subbasin. By protecting the long-term beneficial use of our groundwater resources, the Yucaipa Subbasin will continue to be a sustainable groundwater aquifer used by several retail water agencies, private well owners, and environmental areas such as the riparian habitat in San Timoteo Creek.
The Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency developed a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) that was approved by the California Department of Water Resources on January 18, 2024 (view approval correspondence). The Groundwater Sustainability Plan provides the general framework for actively managing the local groundwater resource in the Yucaipa Subbasin to provide the region with a sustainable future.
