Zone 7 is responsible for providing flood control and water resources to the Livermore-Amador Valley. The district was created by the California Legislature in 1947 and Zone 7 was formed by a vote of local residents in 1957. Of Alameda County's 10 active zones, only Zone 7 has its own elected seven-member board of directors. Zone 7 sells treated water primarily to four retail water agencies - the California Water Service Company, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, and the Dublin San Ramon Services District. It also sells untreated water directly to agricultural and other customers.

Super El Nino Likely

The forecast of a strong El Nino brings good news to California, unfortunately marine life has begun to starve up and down the coast of north America. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) model is forecasting well above normal precipitation for October through December, 2015. There is a good chance heavy winter rains will break the California drought. Downside will be massive landslides and flooding in areas affected by wild fires.
