The water district says to be wary of people misrepresenting themselves as district personnel.
From the Coachella Valley Water District: Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is reminding customers to be wary of possible scams involving people misrepresenting themselves as district personnel.
Recently a customer reported receiving a call from someone who identified themselves as being with CVWD and requesting a payment by phone. When the customer said he would instead come to a CVWD office to make the payment, the caller became agitated.
If a customer has concerns about whether a person is affiliated with CVWD or whether work is authorized by CVWD, they can call CVWD at 760-391-9600. In addition, all CVWD personnel carry identification.
