Municipal Utilities Department  

About MUD

The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is responsible for the operations of the three water utilities: water, wastewater and stormwater. Water, wastewater and stormwater utilities are important services for everyday life.  You may not think about your clean drinking water source, or where the water goes when you flush, but we do.

At the Municipal Utilities Department (MUD), we are committed to providing the community with:

• A storm water 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 around the clock
• Top quality customer service

This work is performed in accordance with applicable regulations and responsible business practices. A Business Plan  has been developed to guide the Department in daily operations and service.

General information 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 can be found under Utility Services.

Each month, a Monthly Operations and Maintenance Report (MOMR) is prepared that details the operations of the Department.

Tours of the Regional Wastewater Control Facility are available along with bird watching opportunities in our wetlands.  More information can be found under Utility Services on the Regional Wastewater Control Facility-Plant Tours and Birdwatching page. 

For additional information or to report a water, wastewater, or stormwater emergency, please Contact Us.

MUD protects both the environment and the community by caring for the City’s water resources.

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.

The Department also maintains the water operations to provide safe, reliable drinking water and a stormwater utility that helps prevent street flooding and improves the water quality of our rivers and the Delta.
