Why Join?

What We DoLegislative discussions to dissolve, take-over or consolidate mutual water companies have been taking place across California. Costly water board decisions impact water rights, basin management practices, and new monitoring and reporting requirements. With the passage of California’s AB 54 and AB 240, scrutiny of mutual water companies is higher than ever and regulatory changes (such as lowering the MCL on Cr 6 to 10 ug/l or less) are significant.  In addition, the transfer of Safe Drinking Water Program from California Department of Public Health to the State Water Resources Control Board can change exemptions from the Safe Drinking Water Act.

California Association of Mutual Water Companies (CalMutuals) was founded in November 2013 to bring together our state’s mutual water companies, facilitate the exchange of quality information, offer valuable resources, and represent members through grassroots activities and statewide lobbying.
