Get to Know Your Local Water District

Your drinking water is locally sourced with the majority of the supply coming from seven reservoirs located on the Mt. Tam Watershed and in the hills of west Marin. Learn about Marin Water – the municipal water district responsible for caring for those watershed lands and providing that drinking water to you and 191,000 other people around the clock 365 days a year across central and southern Marin.  As the impacts of climate change, including periods of severe drought and increased threat of wildfire continue to challenge water District’s across California, learn what actions your water District is taking to ensure the resiliency of our water supply now and for future generations.

Monty Schmitt was elected to serve as the Marin Water Division II Director beginning in December 2020 and also currently serves as Board President. Monty is a water resources scientist and a senior project director with The Nature Conservancy’s Water Program in San Francisco.
