The
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is a publicly-owned utility that provides water to 1.3 million customers in parts of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties in the East Bay area of California. EBMUD’s water supply comes from the Mokelumne River watershed, located approximately 90 miles east of Oakland in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. EBMUD can complement its aggressive water conservation programs by utilizing FRWP water when needed in dry years only, estimated to be three out of every 10 years.
The
Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA) supplies water to approximately 69,000 customers in the central part of Sacramento County. SCWA delivers water a combination of surface water and groundwater to customers and the FRWP brings important surface water supplies into the SCWA service area. With the FRWP in operation, SCWA deliver surface water from the Sacramento River when available, preserving groundwater supplies for use in dry periods, which helps support sustainability goals in the South American subbasin.
