Welcome to the homepage of the South San Joaquin Irrigation District!

In 1909, the District was established to provide a reliable and economical source of irrigation water for the agricultural areas surrounding Escalon, Ripon, and Manteca.  Since then, we have expanded into providing domestic water service to South San Joaquin County and are presently moving toward providing electric service as well.
