Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is a government organization established in 1963 by the California Legislature to oversee local government boundary changes, such as incorporation, annexations, and special district formations in Contra Costa County. Acting as judges of boundary disputes, LAFCOs aim to promote orderly development and resolve conflicts among governments and communities. With the current Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act of 2000, LAFCO continues to play a crucial role in managing boundary issues and ensuring efficient public finance and services.
Recognizing outstanding leadership and collaboration, Contra Costa LAFCO commends Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) and Diablo Water District (DWD) for their exceptional efforts in delivering clean and reliable municipal water services to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) in Contra Costa County. CCWD, one of the largest urban water districts in California, serves approximately 500,000 people in central and eastern Contra Costa County, while DWD supplies municipal water to over 42,000 residents in East County. These districts have successfully extended water services to DACs and obtained state grant funding for annexations, contributing to the overall well-being of Contra Costa County residents.
