Media and Communication Services

The Office of Public Affairs responds to the news media and public inquiries about the Water Boards' programs and decisions.

The staff coordinates all contact with news media representatives.

Some issues originate in one of the nine regional water quality control boards throughout California. Accredited media are encouraged to contact the regional boards or the State Water Resources Control Board Office of Public Affairs. Each of the Public Information Officer staff has statewide and regional board expertise.
