Celebrating Federal Funding of Pure Water Monterey Recycled Water Expansion

Marina Coast Water District and its partners joined with U.S. Department of the Interior Assistant Secretary for Water and Science Tanya Trujillo and others to celebrate the $10.3 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand Pure Water Monterey (PWM) recycled water treatment.

PWM recycled water will ultimately meet more than 50% of the water demand for the Peninsula. Once complete, our region will get more of its water from recycled water than anywhere else in the world. Thank you, Secretary Trujillo, for helping us celebrate this growing, drought-proof recycled water supply.

District Thanks

the Women of MCWD

On International Women's Day we celebrate the women at Marina Coast Water District who contribute to our mission to provide high-quality water and wastewater services for our customers.

In recognition of your hard work in management, finance, engineering, operations, and customer service, we thank you. Our District works best when it reflects the diversity of our community.

#HappyInternationalWomensMonth

It’s National Groundwater Week… 

Here is Why It Matters

Since groundwater is the main source of water for Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) customers in Marina, Seaside, and the Ord Community, it is a good time to learn more about this precious resource and how MCWD is protecting and managing it to meet our community’s water needs.

Marina Coast Water District maintains a comprehensive program to manage groundwater in collaboration with our many partners who share this valuable resource. 

Reliable Partner and Leader in the Center of the Groundwater Basin. The major water resources in the region all intersect in MCWD. The District owns a desalination plant, shares ownership in a water recycling plant, and has aquifer storage and recovery facilities within its boundaries along with extensive groundwater rights. To share costs and ensure future reliable supplies for all, the District works extensively with Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency, Monterey County Water Resources Agency, Seaside Watermaster, City of Marina, City of Seaside, City of Del Rey Oaks, City of Monterey, and California State University Monterey Bay.
