Division 2 Vacancy Filled, Board Approves Precedent-Setting Water Deal for Major Walnut Creek Senior Housing Complex

The Contra Costa Water District marked its 90th anniversary, filled a vacant board seat, and broke new ground with a phased infrastructure agreement that will let construction begin on a 302-unit senior housing development while federal and state permits work through a months-long pipeline — all as an invasive mussel species forces the district to quadruple its cleaning schedule at critical delta pump stations.

  • Board authorizes non-standard water agreement for The Glen at Heather Farm, a senior housing and skilled nursing complex in Walnut Creek, allowing construction to begin while 12-month federal and 8-month state reviews proceed

  • Golden mussel infestations accelerate, forcing CCWD to increase fish screen cleaning at delta pump stations from every two to three years to every six months

  • Daniel Fitzpatrick appointed to the vacant Division 2 board seat, restoring full representation ahead of major canal replacement and rate decisions

  • CCWD celebrates 90 years of water service with resolutions from the County Board of Supervisors and ACWA

  • New Prop 218 legal wins by Marin Municipal and East Bay MUD strengthen protections for future water rate actions statewide

Editor's Note: Due to a technical issue, Locunity's systems missed the May 13, 2026, meeting. The issue is now resolved.
