Laguna Beach County Water District
Home MenuGovernance
The Laguna Beach County Water District (District) was incorporated as a County Water District in 1925 and operates as a Special District under the Water Code Section 30000 et. seq.
On June 3, 1998, the District and City of Laguna Beach filed an application with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of Orange County California for the District to operate as a subsidiary district of the city while continuing to exist as a special district with all the powers, rights, duties, obligations, and functions provided for by the Water Code.
The reorganization of the District became effective November 1, 2000 with the Laguna Beach City Council members sworn into office as the Ex-Officio Board of Directors (Board) and the former five-member Board of Directors were appointed as Commissioners to serve in an advisory capacity to the Board.
Publicly elected City Council members are sworn in as Ex-Officio Board of Directors of the District. The Board provides local control over the policies and decisions affecting water service in the community. Public meetings of the Board of Directors are held quarterly.
