Municipal Utilities Department
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is responsible for the operations of three utilities important to everyday life: water, wastewater, and stormwater. You might not think about your clean drinking water source or where the water goes when you flush a toilet — but we do, every day.
At MUD, we are committed to protecting the environment and providing the community with:
- Stormwater system that decreases the risk of street flooding
- Disposal of carefully treated wastewater
- Education on water conservation and pollution prevention
- Environmental stewardship
- Projects to improve the quality of our waterways, lakes, and the Delta
- Safe drinking water
- Quality customer service
Work performed by MUD is in accordance with applicable regulations and responsible business practices. A MUD Quarterly Operations Report (QOR) details department operations.
