Offices Begin Reopening to the Public on Monday, June 1, 2020

Effective Monday, June 1, 2020, the District will be reopening the front lobby to the public with limited access and safety protocols in place to reduce risk to community members and District staff.

Walk-in access will be available to the District’s customer service counters. Access to all other District departments will be by appointment only.

Hi-Desert Water District staff recommends that anyone entering a District office wear a cloth face covering for the consideration of everyone’s well-being and safety. In addition, the number of visitors inside the lobby will be limited to two (2) at a time to enable social distancing. For this, customers should expect to wait in line outside while awaiting their turn to enter the building. Blue markers indicating six-foot distancing have been placed on the lobby floor and sidewalk near the entrance to aid with social distancing. Hand sanitizers will be available at the counters to encourage public hygiene as District restrooms will be closed to the public. The District will only be accepting exact change, checks, and credit cards for payment
