SRP is composed of two separate organizations: the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association, a private water corporation formed in 1903; and the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, an agricultural improvement district and a political subdivision of the State of Arizona formed in 1937 that oversees SRP’s electric operations.

Each company of SRP is governed separately. SRP Board members establish policy, approve annual budgets, and set prices and fees. SRP Council members amend and enact bylaws, make appointments to fill vacancies on the SRP Boards and Councils, and approve revenue bonds issued by the District.
