ABOUT THE DISTRICT

Background
In 1958, a local group of dedicated citizens, known as the Marina Community Service Corporation, proposed the formation of a municipal-owned water system with boundaries to coincide with the existing Marina Fire District, which was approximately 1,600 acres. Two years later, the Marina County Water District was formed registered voters of the then unincorporated city of Marina. In 1966, voters authorized the sale of water bonds totaling $950,000 to acquire a privately owned water company serving the area.

Our Vision
Today, we serve more than 40,000 customers and 9,500 accounts split roughly equally between Central Marina and the Ord Community on the former military base, including California State University (CSU) Monterey Bay. Our vision is to become the leading public supplier of integrated water and wastewater services in the Monterey Bay Region.

Our Mission
Currently, the District is actively engaged in the conversion of the former Fort Ord military base to a vibrant mixed-use community, including approximately 6,000 new homes and several hundred thousand square feet of commercial/industrial facilities. Our mission is to provide high quality water, wastewater, and recycled water services to the District's expanding communities through management, conservation, and development of future resources at reasonable costs.

Our local water supply means you can be sure your water is clean, fresh, and sustainably sourced.
