Municipal Water District of Orange County
The Municipal Water District of Orange County, commonly known by the acronym MWDOC, is a wholesale water provider, water resource development and planning agency, water-centric information, education, emergency planning, and conservation resource hub for Orange County. Local water supply sources meet only about half of the region's total water needs. To fulfill the remaining demand, MWDOC buys imported water from the California State Water Project in northern California and the Colorado River through The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan). MWDOC delivers water to its 27 member agencies - made up of both water districts and city water departments - who then, in turn, provide retail water service to the public.
Metropolitan is the largest municipal water supplier in the United States and MWDOC is the third largest Metropolitan member agency.
