November / December

In the beautiful Sierra Nevada, a pristine river named Mokelumne breaks free. Carrying snowmelt and rain to the west, its ultimate destination is the Sacramento/ San Joaquin Delta, and then the San Francisco Bay. But well before it reaches its natural outlet, EBMUD’s 345-foot-tall, 1,337-foot-long Pardee Dam walls-off the water’s path and fills in Pardee Reservoir. From Pardee Reservoir, the East Bay drinks.

EBMUD salutes all the chefs out there baking, roasting and frying away, but we also want to share with you a recipe that could spell disaster in your home. We’re talking about clogged drains that could lead to sewage backups.

EBMUD continuously looks for new ways to improve our work. One area where new collaborations have started to pay off is in paving.
