Summary

History

According to the MCWD, About webpage, the MCWD has existed since 1958[1]. The history of its service and functioning is provided below:

  • 1958 - The Marina Community Service Corporation, a group of local citizens, proposed formation of a municipal-owned water system. Their intention was to create boundaries that coincided with the already existing Marina Fire District
  • 1960 - Two years later, formation of the Marina County Water District occurred through a vote of the then unincorporated city of Marina, California.
  • 1966 - City of Marina voters authorized the sale of $950,000 in water bonds to acquire a privately owned water company for servicing the area.
  • 1970 - The city of Marina voters responded to increasing septic failures and community requests by constructing a sewage treatment plant and disposal system, which was financed by $1.3M in sewer bonds.
  • 1983-1989 - The District drilled three new deep wells into the 900 ft aquifer. This is what provides the city of Marina with its water, presently.
  • 1994 - The Marina County Water District became the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD), replacing "county" with "coast" to avoid confusion of being a county agency, or that Marina was a county and not in Monterey County.
  • 1997 - District began operating a desal plant (13% of supply), but this only

lasted a few years due to rising electricity costs impeding affordability

  • 1997 - fort ord closed and the Army contracted with the MCWD to operate

its water and wastewater systems

  • 2001 - the Army officially transferred the systems to the district. since

then, the District has improved water distribution and storage efficiency
