The Big Bear Municipal Water District Board of Directors holds its next regular meeting on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the district office, 40524 Lakeview Drive, Big Bear Lake.

Key items on the agenda include:

  • Water reclamation update: The Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency (BBARWA) will present the board with a status report on its water reclamation efforts — a topic with long-term implications for the valley's water supply.
  • New watershed authority: The board will discuss and may vote on a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to create the Santa Ana Watershed Hydro Authority (SAWHA), a regional body that would coordinate water management across the Santa Ana Watershed.
  • FY 2026–27 budget review: Directors will take a second look at the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.
  • Employee compensation: The board is expected to give full approval to Resolution 2026-04, which sets the FY 2027 pay schedule for both full-time and seasonal staff.

The consent calendar includes a warrant list dated May 12, 2026, totaling $63,207.80.

The next board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., at the same Lakeview Drive location. Residents can attend in person or contact the district for more information.
