Emergency preparedness is critical to providing essential water and wastewater services to our community. EBMUD works year-round to protect people, water quality, the environment and property. That starts with planning ahead to minimize risks and improve our readiness to respond.
Personal emergency preparedness helps you and your loved ones stay safe and minimize risks during unexpected events at home, at work or while traveling. Having a plan, supplies and awareness ensures you will be able to respond quickly to natural disasters or accidents.
Here in the East Bay, we are lucky to have Sierra Nevada snowmelt as our primary water source. We filter and disinfect every drop before we send that water to your tap. And we treat the wastewater you flush down the drain to protect both public health and San Francisco Bay.
For more than a century, EBMUD has supported the East Bay’s health, economy, and environment with high-quality water and wastewater treatment. The proposed Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027 Biennial Budget includes significant investments in our infrastructure while ensuring ongoing financial stability. It reflects EBMUD’s commitment to keep the essential services you count on reliable and resilient.
EBMUD watersheds and reservoirs provide healthy habitats where fish and wildlife thrive. But they are also vulnerable to invasive species. The latest culprit proves significant threats can come in tiny packages.
We don’t know about you, but after overindulging through holiday meals, feeling cooped up indoors and spending too much time on social media, we’re looking for ways to reset the body and mind. It’s a new year, after all. An opportunity to start fresh, embrace healthy habits, or simply take some deep breaths and exhale.
