The Waterwise Community Center is a program of the Chino Basin Water Conservation District, a special district with the purpose of conserving water locally. Local dairy farmers created CBWCD in 1949 to protect and replenish our local aquifer, the Chino Groundwater Basin. When it rains, CBWCD’s network of channels and percolation basins soak up the rain to refill the aquifer for use when it is dry. The Waterwise Community Center provides classes, workshops, landscape design consultations, and other resources to help area residents use water wisely. Learn how you can take advantage of our free services here. The District serves the communities of Chino, Chino Hills, Ontario, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana. A seven-member Board of Directors governs CBWCD and meets on the second Monday of the month at 2pm. Attend our meetings and learn more about the Board here.
