About Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District

Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District was formed in 1956 to develop a regional water system that provides a reliable water supply to customers in the greater Humboldt Bay area of Humboldt County. The District operates almost exclusively at the wholesale level. The District supplies drinking water to seven public agencies, who in turn, serve the residents, businesses and industries in our community. The District’s wholesale municipal customers are the cities of Arcata, Eureka, Blue Lake, and four Community Service Districts: Fieldbrook-Glendale, Humboldt, Manila, and McKinleyville. Facilities include: 1) R.W. Matthews Dam which forms Ruth Lake in southern Trinity County,(Ruth Lake Community Services District) 2) a hydro-electric power house at Matthews Dam, 3) diversion, pumping and control facilities on the Mad River near Arcata, 4) storage and treatment facilities, and 5) two transmission systems that deliver treated drinking water or untreated surface water to customers throughout the Humboldt Bay region. The District is an independent special district governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors. The Board is experienced, capable and works well together.
