• The Palmdale Irrigation District was formed to supply irrigation water to the approximately 4,500 acres of agricultural land within its boundaries.

The capacity of Palmdale Lake was increased to handle the additional volume of water from the State Water Project and a water treatment facility was constructed.By 1966, the District was providing only municipal and industrial water. The name was changed to Palmdale Water District in 1973 to reflect this new direction. From 1965 through 1985, the controversy over the seismic safety of Littlerock Dam continued, and water demands increased tremendously.A 12 million-gallon per day water treatment plant was constructed in 1987, and by 1993 had to be expanded to process 28 million gallons of water per day. The District's boundaries now encompass approximately 187 square miles of land in northeastern Los Angeles County, with the District's primary service area within the City of Palmdale's planning area. The distribution system has over 403 miles of pipeline ranging in size 4 to 48 in diameter, 24 active water wells, 14 booster pumping stations, and 20 water tanks with a total storate capacity of 50 million gallons of water.
