Join us as we delve into the rich history and cutting-edge strategies of infrastructure maintenance for water resources at the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). Since the inauguration of the Mokelumne Aqueduct No. 1 in 1934, EBMUD has been at the forefront of infrastructure preservation. Over the decades, the district has expanded its network with the addition of two more aqueducts in the 1940s and 1960s, enhancing its pipeline infrastructure to include a diverse range from small diameter ML&PCS distribution lines to large diameter transmission and aqueducts. With a commitment to longevity and sustainability, EBMUD meticulously maintains coatings and corrosion protection systems across its treated water and raw water transmission, distribution, treatment, and storage facilities.
