Montecito Water District (MWD) is a water utility company located in Santa Barbara, California. With a century of service, MWD is responsible for providing reliable and sustainable water resources to the community. They operate and maintain eight reservoir sites in the Santa Ynez foothills of Montecito, ensuring the storage and distribution of water to meet the needs of residents and businesses. MWD is committed to complying with current seismic design codes and regulations, undertaking the Reservoir Retrofit and Replacement Project to enhance the safety and functionality of their water storage facilities. The project involves seismic retrofits, repairs, and replacements at the existing reservoirs, which were originally built between the early 1900s and 1970s. By bringing the reservoirs into compliance with current standards, MWD aims to mitigate the risk of failure during seismic events. The construction is scheduled to take place from Spring 2022 through Spring 2025. MWD prioritizes transparency and public engagement, inviting interested individuals to attend the public hearing by the Board of Directors to discuss the adoption of the Draft Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-MND).Generated from the website
