The Environmental Resources Department provides policy advice, planning services and programs for water resources, water conservation, water quality, air quality and other environmental issues. The Department assists the city with conducting its operations in an environmentally responsible manner and provides corporate-level guidance to create an organizational culture that strives for high-level and continual improvement in environmental stewardship and performance.
The Environmental Resources Department is comprised of three divisions: |
 |
The Environmental Division’s mission is to ensure that the city has sustainable water resources to meet current and future demand and comply with environmental laws and regulations. |
 |
The Water Quality Laboratory’s mission is to protect public health and the environment by testing and documenting the quality of drinking and reclaimed water and reporting the results to regulatory agencies and the public. |
 |
The Office of Conservation and Sustainable Living provides programs to inform and educate our residents, businesses, and neighborhood communities about good environmental practices. We fulfill our mission by collaborating and partnering with businesses, residents, nonprofits, and other city departments to encourage and promote environmental responsibility. |
