Municipal Utilities Department
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is responsible for the operations of the three water utilities important to everyday life: water, wastewater, and stormwater. You may not think about your clean drinking water source or where the water goes when you flush a toilet – but we do.
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 that improve the quality of our waterways, lakes, and the Delta
- Safe drinking water
- Top quality customer service
Work performed by MUD is in accordance with applicable regulations and responsible business practices. Each month, a Monthly Operations and Maintenance Report (MOMR) is prepared that details department operations.
Learn more about water, wastewater, and stormwater utility services (including information for residents and businesses, permit requirements and regulations, fee calculators, industrial pretreatment, and the Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Program) under Utility Services.
The Regional Wastewater Control Facility is a 24/7 operation that treats residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional wastewater throughout the City and parts of the surrounding County. Tours of the Regional Wastewater Control Facility are available along with bird-watching in our wetlands. Read more at the Regional Wastewater Control Facility-Plant Tours and Birdwatching.
