It provides risk-sharing pools to meet the needs of its members for property, liability, workers' compensation, and employee benefits coverage. The JPIA is a partnership of water agencies working together to share the risks associated with purveying water. The risk-sharing pools of the JPIA are a cost-effective form of risk management available only to public entities, allowing them to bypass the high cost of commercial insurance.
