 Please Conserve Water!!!
A court-ordered reduction in State Water Project deliveries via the ecologically fragile Bay Delta for 2008 means we all must do what we can to conserve water, especially given this Spring's extremely dry weather. To learn about ways to conserve -- and about appliance rebates -- click here.
 Delta in Crisis
The Bay-Delta, which provides 80 percent of the drinking water supply for Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin and Dougherty Valley, is in serious ecological crisis that threatens to undermine the future reliability and quality of our water supplies. For more information, click here.
 Softening Your Water
A new facility will open in 2009 to help reduce hardness of water delivered mainly to the western side of our service area in Pleasanton and Dublin. For information on our Mocho Water Demineralization Plant, and on other Zone 7 water-quality projects, click here.
Water-Wise Landscaping
Outdoor landscaping can consume huge amounts of water and in summer is the single biggest way to conserve. Drought-tolerant gardens can provide dramatic beauty and color to your yard and save both water and money!!! To learn more, click here.
 Celebrating History
Zone 7 Water Agency, created by popular vote of Livermore-Amador Valley residents, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. For a walk through time, click here.
About Water Rates
The Board-approved general increase in wholesale water rates for 2008 is 8 percent, boosting the monthly bill for the typical household by $2.13 if fully passed through by retailers. More than a third of the increase is tied to our efforts to maintain and improve water reliability for the Valley. The second most significant portion of the increase is needed to pay the higher costs of imported water we buy from the state. For for more detailed information on water rates, click here.
