EBMUD redistricting

The EBMUD Board of Directors must adjust District ward boundaries every ten years based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The Board will hold public meetings and hearings between October 2021 and April 2022 to conduct redistricting.  

Section 11823 of the Municipal Utility District Act requires the Board to fix ward boundaries for the purpose of electing directors. Election Code sections 22000 and 22001 require the District to use U.S. census data to adjust ward boundaries so they are equal, as far as practical, in population and comply with federal law. The Board may consider (1) topography, (2) geography, (3) cohesiveness, continuity, integrity, and compactness of territory, and (4) community of interests in configuring ward boundaries.

Public participation

Currently Board meetings are held in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order N-08-21 which suspends portions of the Brown Act. The meetings are held via webinar or teleconference; there is no physical location for these meetings. Members of the public can participate in public Board meetings and hearings regarding redistricting via Zoom. Meeting information can be found on our Board meetings page.
