The Columbia Valley Water District is located in Eastern Whatcom County nestled in the foothills of the Columbia Valley.    In 2010, the District’s name was changed from Evergreen Water Sewer District 19 to better represent the area that it serves.

In 1971, the water system was constructed to serve the residential and recreational lots of the Paradise Lakes Country Club.  In early 2000, Paradise Lakes Country Club disbanded and Evergreen Water Sewer District #19 was formed as a municipal water system.  Since its inception in 2003, the District has been providing safe clean drinking water to 1590 customers.
