Crestline-Lake Arrowhead Water Agency (CLAWA) is a public agency created in 1961 by a special act of the California State Legislature to provide supplemental water to a portion of the San Bernardino Mountains. The Agency's revenues are from water sales, connection fees, standby (water availability) charges, and taxes. It has always been CLAWA's policy not to compete with other water purveyors for retail water service within the Agency.
