The Imperial County Division of Environmental Health (DEH) and the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) have launched the Point of Entry (POE) pilot project for Imperial Valley residents to improve access to safer water. A POE system provides filtration and disinfection to all plumbed water entering a home. Residents enrolled in IID’s Water Delivery Assistance Program who rely on untreated water will be eligible to receive a POE system installed and maintained at no cost during the pilot project.

Our Local Water Source 

Hundreds of Imperial Valley residents rely on the untreated water that comes into homes from the canal system maintained by IID. This water is likely to contain high bacteria counts and possible contaminants. To improve the water quality in these homes the POE project is committed to improving you water from harmful bacteria and contaminants.

How to apply for the project:

The applicant’s cooperation in this project is key. During the 24-month maintenance period, DEH and the vendor will work collaboratively with each applicant. Applicants will learn how to monitor their system, replace equipment, and obtain resources for continued maintenance.
