News Release - Dec. 14, 2022

Corte Madera – The Marin Water Board of Directors on Tuesday voted to increase fines for fire-related offenses on the District’s Mount Tamalpais Watershed. The fine increases – for smoking, operating campfires or portable barbecues and lighting fireworks – are meant to supplement other, ongoing efforts to reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire on the watershed, as well as protect water quality, watershed visitors and surrounding communities.

Bill Pay Update – Dec. 7, 2022

Due to technical difficulties impacting a third-party vendor, Marin Water is no longer able to offer its pay-by-phone service to customers.

These customers can expect to receive an automated phone message and a mailed postcard informing them of the change.

Update on potential for water differences - Aug. 26, 2022

Occasionally, during the warmer months, some customers experience a different taste or odor in their drinking water. Some describe the water as tasting and smelling earthy, musty, or moldy. This is caused by naturally occurring compounds produced by algae in our reservoirs. Algae are a natural phenomenon, particularly during the warm summer months, and are a reminder that our lakes are living water bodies.
