BBARWA governing board meets October 28 in Big Bear City

The Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency's Governing Board will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at the agency's administrative offices at 121 Palomino Drive, Big Bear City^[1]. For valley residents who rely on the regional sewer system — which serves much of the Big Bear Lake and Big Bear City communities — these monthly sessions are where decisions about wastewater infrastructure, rates, and operations are made by the appointed board^[2].

What BBARWA does and why it matters

BBARWA is the regional agency responsible for collecting and treating wastewater across Big Bear Valley. Its governing board meets on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 5:00 p.m., making these recurring meetings the primary venue where ratepayers and residents can weigh in on how the system is managed^[2].

The agency actively encourages the public to attend and provide input on matters the board considers^[2]. That open-door posture matters in a mountain community where sewer capacity, aging infrastructure, and treatment costs can directly affect everything from home remodels requiring new hookups to environmental protections for Big Bear Lake itself.

No specific agenda items for the October 28 meeting were available at the time of publication — the agency's agenda packets, including any rate proposals, contracts, or action items scheduled for that session, are posted at bbarwa.org/meetings (opens in a new tab)^[2].
