Construction Update
Marin Water replaced nearly 1 mile of 100-year-old pipe with a new pipeline along East Blithedale Ave. in Mill Valley. The project was completed in September 2022.
To streamline construction activity and minimize impacts to the surrounding community, Marin Water coordinated with the City of Mill Valley and its contractor as the city implemented its Street Rehabilitation Project along the same corridor.

Maintaining Infrastructure is Top Priority
Marin Water provides safe, reliable, local drinking water to 191,000 customers spanning ten towns and cities in a 147-square-mile area of the county. Updating Marin Water’s aging infrastructure, such as the 100-year old E. Blithedale pipeline, is critical to ensuring the reliability and resiliency of the district's water service delivery system for many years to come.
