In 1958, a local group of dedicated citizens, known as the Marina Community Service Corporation, proposed the formation of a municipal‑owned water system with boundaries to coincide with the existing Marina Fire District, which was approximately 1,600 acres. Two years later, the Marina County Water District was formed registered voters of the then unincorporated city of Marina. In 1966, voters authorized the sale of water bonds totaling $950,000 to acquire a privately owned water company serving the area.

Today, we serve more than 40,000 customers and 9,500 accounts split roughly equally between Central Marina and the Ord Community on the former military base, including California State University (CSU)…
