Marin Water is proud of its rich history as California’s first municipal water district, established in 1912. With that distinction, comes the responsibility to address aging infrastructure. Many of the district's pipelines are more than 100 years old. The Capital Improvement Program responsibly replaces aging pipelines with pipes that better withstand earthquakes and have greater overall reliability. For any construction project questions, please contact the Engineering Division at 415.945.1560.
Active Construction Projects
Fire & Fuels Management
With nearly 22,000 acres of public land within the Mount Tamalpais Watershed and the hills of west Marin under our care, the District continues to engage in critical vegetation management work. The ongoing, strategic efforts follow the District's Biodiversity, Fire and Fuels Integrated Plan, which is designed to not only reduce the risk of devastating wildfire, but also bolster ecological health through the removal of invasive plant species.
Tree Haven Pipeline Replacement
Part of Marin Water's Fire Flow Improvement Program, the Tree Haven Pipeline Replacement project will install more than a mile of aging, leak-prone pipeline with larger, more seismically stable pipe. Ultimately, this project will increase the volume of water available to fight fires.
