Hi-Desert Water District was originally formed in 1962 under the name of Yucca Valley County Water District. In 1964, the District purchased the Joshua Forest Water Company and subsequently the Rancho Ramon and Mountain Mutual Water companies the following year. In 1971 the District changed its name to Hi-Desert County Water District and in 1980 to Hi-Desert Water District in order to avoid confusion with the County. As the years went by the District grew as a result of the formation of many assessment districts, primarily on the mesa. In 1990, Hi-Desert Water District acquired the assets of Yucca Water Company, Ltd., adding an additional 3,000 service connections.
