Formed in 1978, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District serves about 112,000 people within the cities of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Del Rey Oaks, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Sand City, Monterey Peninsula Airport District and portions of unincorporated Monterey County, including Pebble Beach, Carmel Highlands and Carmel Valley.
Its areas of responsibility include augmenting the water supply through integrated management of ground and surface water, promoting water conservation and the reclamation of storm and wastewater, protecting native vegetation and wildlife, and promoting scenic and recreational assets on the Monterey Peninsula and in the Carmel River Basin.
The district’s sources of revenue include property tax, user fees, water connection charges, investments, grants, permit fees and project reimbursements. Among its goals is to assist California American Water in developing a legal water supply and protect the quality of surface and groundwater resources and continue the restoration of the Carmel River environment.

Water woes on the Monterey Peninsula go back for decades. In 1995, the State Water Resources Control Board issued Order 95-10, declaring that California American Water was entitled to take only 3,376 acre-feet of water a year from the Carmel River. The utility at the time was taking about 14,000 acre-feet to supply the region.
The company is asking a judge to dismiss the water district's eminent domain takeover, arguing that "the district is not legally authorized to provide retail potable water service."
It’s been an eventful few months for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District in its yearslong effort to potentially buy out California American Water, an investor-owned utility.
Just past 9am, a small team of employees from the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District begin staging equipment along a stretch of the Carmel River, just upstream from the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility.
