The district provides water to more than 80,000 residents, and is based in Rialto, according to its website.
Data
The district had 11% voter turnout for the Board of Directors elections, held in Novembers of odd-numbered years, compared to 61% turnout during the four prior statewide general elections in San Bernardino County, according to San Bernardino County, as cited in the ruling.
