VVWRA was originally formed by the Mojave Water Agency to help meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and provide wastewater treatment for the growing area. The original treatment plant, with supporting pipelines and infrastructure, began operating in 1981, providing tertiary level treatment for up to 4.5 million gallons per day (MGD). Over the years, VVWRA has completed multiple treatment plant upgrades and several capacity increases and is now capable of providing treatment for up to 18 MGD. It currently treats about 12 MGD.

The regional treatment plant is currently capable of treating a portion of the flow to a tertiary level and the remaining flow to a secondary level for percolation. A majority of the highly treated wastewater is discharged into the Mojave River Basin and a smaller amount is currently used to irrigate landscaping at the treatment plant and in the cooling towers at the nearby High Desert Project.

In addition, VVWRA is home to an award winning Renewable Natural Gas facility. The project converts methane from food and sewer waste into renewable natural gas that is injected directly into a major Southwest Gas pipeline for commercial distribution. The project is a partnership between VVWRA, Anaergia Inc., and Southwest Gas.

The Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority is a joint powers authority and public agency of the state of California and is governed by the:
