About Zone 7 Water

Zone 7 Water Agency is one of the 10 active zones of the Alameda County Flood Control and

Water Conservation District. The District was established by the State Legislature in October

1949 to solve problems of flooding, drainage, channel erosion and water supply and

conservation in Alameda County. In 1957, by popular vote, Zone 7 became a special district

governed by a seven-member board of directors. Along with flood protection, Zone 7 supplies

water to all of eastern Alameda County and a population of 270,000 residents. Treated water is

sold wholesale to local retailers, including the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, the Dublin

San Ramon Services District, and the California Water Service Company. Zone 7 also

distributes untreated water to local agriculture operations and golf courses.
