Core offering

Helendale Community Services District is a California special district that delivers essential municipal services to the Helendale community, including potable water, wastewater (sewer) collection and treatment, solid waste collection, parks and recreation, street lighting, and graffiti abatement.

Product overview

Helendale Community Services District is a special district providing essential public services to the communities of Helendale and Silver Lakes in San Bernardino County, California. Its portfolio is organized as a set of distinct service-line products rather than a unified software platform: Water Supply & Distribution (groundwater sourcing, disinfection, and delivery), Wastewater Treatment (secondary biological treatment with agricultural reuse via an alfalfa farm), Solid Waste & Recycling (curbside collection, recycling, and disposal), Parks & Recreation (community park, dog park, sports leagues, special events, and senior center), and ancillary services including street lighting coordination and graffiti abatement. Customer-facing operations are supported by an online billing and payments portal. The district is governed by a five-member Board of Directors and operates with transparency reporting under California SB 272.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Golden State Water Company: A regulated California water utility serving more than 80 communities, including parts of the high desert. Comparable as a regulated water-rate-base utility with similar groundwater-management exposure.
• American Water Works Company: The largest publicly traded US water and wastewater utility, operating regulated and contract systems nationwide. Comparable as a large-scale water/wastewater operator against which to size Helendale's asset base.
• California Water Service Group: The largest investor-owned water utility in California, providing regulated water service to more than 2M people. Overlaps with Helendale's water-distribution business at scale and serves as a benchmark for California water utility economics.
• Liberty Utilities: A multi-utility operator (water, wastewater, electric, natural gas) with regulated California service territories. Overlaps with Helendale on water/wastewater operations and brings a private-operator comparison to a public utility.

Direct peers

• Lake Arrowhead Community Services District: A California mountain CSD providing water, wastewater, solid waste, and recreation services. Comparable in special-district governance, multi-vertical service mix, and reliance on regulated utility revenue.
• Phelan Pinon Hills Community Services District: A small California CSD serving a high-desert community in San Bernardino County with water, sewer, parks, and solid waste services. Closely matches Helendale's rural-suburban scale and service portfolio.
• Spring Valley Lake Community Services District: A neighboring California Community Services District in Apple Valley that provides water, sewer, solid waste, and parks/recreation services to a similar high-desert community. Directly comparable in mission, service mix, governance model, and scale.

Others

• Veolia North America: A private operator that contracts with municipalities to run water and wastewater treatment plants. Comparable as an outsourced operator of the type of secondary wastewater treatment plant Helendale owns and runs in-house.
