Alameda County Water District
The Alameda County Water District service area consists of approximately 103 square miles in
southwestern Alameda County. The District supplies water to the cities of Fremont, Newark, and
Union City. The combined population of the three cities in the service area in 2001 was 316,523.
The District’s highest served population is single-family, owner-occupied homes. Only 24.3
percent of the District’s water was provided by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
(SFPUC) in 2001–2002, while groundwater, local surface-water, and other water supplies meet
the remaining need.
City of Brisbane
The City of Brisbane is located in northern San Mateo County. In 2001, the City had a residential
population of approximately 3,174 residents. The service area encompasses approximately 3.5
square miles, nearly half of which is vacant and in the process of being developed. The City
operates two water districts concurrently: City of Brisbane Water District and Guadalupe Valley
Municipal Improvement District. The City’s only source of potable water is the SFPUC.
City of Burlingame
The City of Burlingame is situated in central San Mateo County and in 2001 had a population of
30,154 residents. The City’s water system serves the entire area within its city limits of
approximately 5.5 square miles. The system serves portions of the unincorporated Burlingame
Hills area and a few properties in the City of San Mateo and Town of Hillsborough as well. The
predominant land use is residential, but about 34 percent of the area served is
commercial/industrial. The City receives all of its water from the SFPUC.
California Water Service Company–Bear Gulch District
California Water Service Company–Bear Gulch District, located in southern San Mateo County,
serves the communities of Atherton, Portola Valley, Woodside, and adjacent unincorporated

miles. The service area comprises predominantly single-family residences, many of which are
located on large, landscaped lots. In 2001–2002, water purchased from the SFPUC supplied 90.6
percent of the District’s needs, with the balance being supplied by local surface water supply.
