Information About

East Bay Municipal Utility District




The district was founded after a severe drought in 1923 proved that a local system of Reservoirs was inadequate. The district built a pipeline to the Mokelumne River in the Sierra Nevada . Today, several hundred miles of large diameter pipes bring the water to various reservoirs in the East Bay area. Water is then transported to several treatment plants and delivered to local small reservoirs and tanks, where it is then distributed by gravity to households.
