JOIN US: Sponsor the California-United Water Sunset Harbor Dinner Cruise
Sponsors will help bring to life an exclusive Sunset Harbor Dinner Cruise on Coronado Bay on Thursday, August 20th, supporting an unforgettable evening designed to convene California’s water leadership community in a relaxed, relationship-focused setting. With an expected attendance of 150–200 water leaders from across the state—including agency executives, policymakers, and key stakeholders—this event will serve as the official kickoff to the California-United/UWI Water program. The evening will set the tone for the collaborative, solutions-oriented dialogue that continues the following morning as part of the Urban Water Institute Annual Conference, creating a seamless transition from connection to conversation as leaders come together to shape California’s water future.
Note: Sponsorship for the California-United Water Sunset Harbor Dinner Cruise does not include attendance to UWI 2026 Annual Conference. Please register for the UWI Annual Conference here.
About California-United Water
California-United Water is a collaborative, statewide initiative bringing together leading water organizations—including the Urban Water Institute, Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA), Mesa Water District, and the Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency (BAWSCA)—to foster stronger alignment between Northern and Southern California water leaders.
Originally established through a series of regional conferences, California-United Water has evolved into a platform for advancing more integrated, policy-focused solutions to the state’s most pressing water challenges. By uniting diverse perspectives—from urban and rural agencies to policymakers and resource managers—the initiative creates space for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and partnership across regions and sectors.
Now, California-United Water is entering a new chapter, partnering with the Urban Water Institute to integrate its programming into the Annual Conference. This evolution transforms previously separate regional efforts into a unified, statewide forum, bringing urban and rural voices together in one place to strengthen collaboration, expand influence, and advance a more reliable water future for California. We invite you to be part of this new chapter!
