 The
Big
Bear
Municipal
Water
District
is an
independent
special
district
of the
State
of California,
responsible
for
the
overall
management
of Big
Bear
Lake.
This
is accomplished
in several
ways:
- Stabilization
of
the
level
of
Big
Bear
Lake
by
managing
the
amount
of
water
released
to
the
downstream
water
rights
holder
- Watershed/Water
Quality
Management
- Recreation
Management
- Wildlife
Habitat
Preservation
and
Enhancement
- Bear
Valley
Dam
and
Reservoir
Maintenance
The
primary
goal
of the
MWD
is the
stabilization
of Big
Bear
Lake
at as
constant
a water
level
as possible,
given
the
availability
of water
and
financing. A
more
constant
lake
level
increases
recreational
opportunities,
stabilizes
property
values,
improves
water
quality,
aesthetic
benefits
and
supports
a healthier
fish
and
wildlife
environment.
The
mission
of Lake
Stabilization
is accomplished
through
the
implementation
of a
comprehensive
water
management
plan
that
includes
controlled
lake
releases
combined
with
a water
purchase
contract
to provide
water
to the
water
rights
holder
while
minimizing
demand on
the
reservoir.
