Redistricting

Following the census that occurs every ten years, Valley Water is required to update and adjust the boundaries of electoral districts to ensure the community is equally represented.

The District Act, in addition to Federal and State law, requires that boundaries of electoral districts must be adjusted before November 1 of the year following the year in which each decennial census is taken. Adjustment of electoral districts is usually accomplished through the completion of a redistricting study, to ensure that each modified district meets the one-person, one-vote test, and to ensure compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act. To assist with the completion of a redistricting study in an inclusive, transparent, and comprehensive manner, and in order to garner community input on redistricting, the Board of Directors established a Redistricting Advisory Committee. The committee is comprised of seven community leaders from throughout Santa Clara County.

For more information on Valley Water's redistricting process, please contact Don Rocha, Deputy Administrative Officer at drocha@valleywater.org or (408) 630-2338.
