Del Paso Manor Water District Officially Reorganized into Sacramento Suburban Water District
Customers invited to July 31 Welcome Event to connect with SSWD and explore new services
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – As of June 30, 2025, the reorganization of Del Paso Manor Water District (DPMWD) into Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) is complete. This marks the official transition of DPMWD into the newly designated Del Paso Manor Service Area (DPMSA) within SSWD.
The reorganization marks the conclusion of a multi-year effort to improve long-term financial stability and reliable water service for DPMWD’s ratepayers without burdening current SSWD customers with the costs associated with necessary improvements to the DPMSA facilities.
“We’re proud to welcome Del Paso Manor customers into the SSWD community,” said Dan York, SSWD General Manager. “Our top priority is strengthening the area’s water infrastructure to support safe, reliable water service at an affordable rate. As we move forward, we’re committed to providing the DPMSA customers with new tools, additional resources, and responsive support throughout the transition and into the future.”
What Del Paso Manor Customers Can Expect Next
- Billing System Integration: Starting in July, DPMSA customers should mail payments to P.O. Box 1420, Suisun City, CA 94585-4420. Checks should be made payable to SSWD. Online billing and new SSWD account numbers will go into effect in September.
- Preventive Maintenance Work: SSWD’s Preventive Maintenance Team has already begun inspecting infrastructure in the DPMSA, including fire hydrants and valves, and is collecting GIS data to improve long-term system reliability and emergency response.
- Governance and Representation: The DPMSA will continue to have local input through a newly formed Advisory Committee, composed of former DPMWD Board Members.
- Office Transition: The former DPMWD office at 1817 Maryal Drive remains open with limited hours (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) until September 15, 2025, when it will permanently close. Customers are invited to begin using the SSWD Customer Service Department at 3701 Marconi Avenue for billing assistance and any other questions related to the operations of SSWD or DPMSA.
- Access to SSWD Programs: DPMSA customers are now eligible for a variety of SSWD services, including rebates for high-efficiency toilets, sprinkler timers, and irrigation upgrades, and free Water-Wise House Calls to help save water at home.
- Ongoing Communication and Transparency: SSWD is committed to keeping DPMSA customers informed throughout the transition and beyond. Customers will continue to receive regular updates through bill inserts, social media, and other outreach avenues, and can find the latest information at sswd.org.
