By voting EBMUD into being 100 years ago, East Bay residents made a commitment to invest in the infrastructure needed to supply both themselves and the generations to come with clean, reliable water.
At EBMUD, we love the work we do, the land and water we protect, and the people we serve. As we turn 100, we’re as proud as ever to be a cornerstone of this vibrant, diverse and innovative community.
This year, EBMUD celebrates 100 years of service to the people of the East Bay. For a century, we have provided clean, reliable water at the turn of the faucet, managed natural resources, and protected the environment.
Most of EBMUD’s drinking water makes an incredible journey to arrive at our taps. As drought and climate change generate renewed interest in where our water comes from, some people are taking extraordinary steps to seek the source.
Stroll along the Oakland Estuary, pedal the waterfront path linking Emeryville and Richmond, or ramble at the Albany Bulb. San Francisco Bay’s eastern shore beckons, its health improved by two landmark developments reaching notable anniversaries.
Droughts, wildfires and earthquakes – not to mention the occasional power outage, main break or construction project – can disrupt our lives. EBMUD is dedicated to providing safe and reliable water and wastewater services. That means we take important steps to be ready for emergencies, and we encourage you to be prepared too.
A project to diversify EBMUD’s water supply while protecting a critically over-drafted groundwater basin is taking root in California’s Central Valley. A groundwater bank beneath rich farmland marks our latest investment in a sustainable water future, and it’s about to yield its first withdrawal.
