Marin Municipal Water District

Given the current water supplies and level of water demand, MMWD does not have adequate water supply to meet the needs of people and the environment during a sustained drought similar to the one experienced in the late 1970s. By the year 2025, the supply-demand deficit will more than double from 3,300 to 6,700 acre-feet* per year. To address this deficit, we must increase water supply and reduce water demand.
In 1912, the Marin Municipal Water District received its charter as the first municipal water district in California. Until then, water in central and southern Marin was provided by a number of small, unrelated companies, many of which were subsidiaries of real estate developers.
The movement toward a publicly owned and operated municipal water district started in 1911, when a group of civic-minded Marin County citizens asked Assemblyman George Harlan of Sausalito to propose legislation allowing for the creation of a water district. Harlan and the others were motivated by extraordinarily high water rates, inadequate and often irregular service and a desire to foster development within the county.
