Water Company Water Companies are investorowned public corporations that typically serve multiple locations.
Water Districts/Irrigation Districts Water Districts are separate legal entities that have taxation powers and sources of revenue independent from the cities or counties they serve.
City Department Typically part of the public works department, water services provided by cities are under the jurisdiction of city ofcials. Commissioners may be appointed by the mayor and the city council, or the department may be run by government workers.
They do not have a publicly elected board, but are accountable to shareholders.
Umbrella districts can encompass multiple municipal water districts and have a larger board made up of representatives from each municipality. For example, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is a consortium of 26 water districts and agencies and the board is made up of representatives from within the 26 municipalities. These boards are not subject to open public elections, but from an internal selection process among the represented agencies. There are also more informal umbrella groups that serve political functions such as lobbying. The largest coalition of water agencies in California is the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) which is made up of 440 groups accounting for 90% of the water distributed in California.
