Overview

The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) supplies water and provides wastewater treatment for parts of Alameda and Contra Costa counties on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay in northern California.  EBMUD is a publicly owned utility formed under the Municipal Utility District Act passed by the California Legislature in 1921. 

The Act permits formation of multipurpose government agencies to provide public services on a regional basis. In accordance with the Act's provisions, voters in the area created EBMUD in 1923 to provide water service. The MUD Act was amended in 1941 to enable formation of special districts. In 1944, voters in six East Bay cities elected to form EBMUD's Special District No. 1 to treat wastewater released into the Bay.
