 Zone 7 Celebrates its 60th Anniversary
To commemorate our 60th anniversary, while also promoting water awareness, Zone 7 Water Agency has created this 18-month (July 2017 - December 2018) calendar. Zone 7 Water Agency, in partnership with local water retailers, invited 4th-grade students within our service area to share their artistic talents by creating a poster that illustrates the importance of water conservation, flood protection, and watershed management. Winners of the poster contest are featured in the calendar, which is available free to the public at Zone 7 Water Agency and water retailers' offices in the Tri-Valley (California Water Service, City of Livermore, City of Pleasanton, and Dublin San Ramon Services District). An electronic version of the calendar is also available for download.

Summer Algae Blooms
Summer has officially arrived and California is experiencing some very hot temperatures. Unfortunately, Zone 7 continues to see the type of water-borne algae that thrive in these warm temperatures in the water delivered to our local water treatment plants. The water treatment process ensures the water is safe to drink and meets all State and Federal standards. However, the human nose is very sensitive to the compounds that create the musty odor and can be detected even at very low levels. Read our new fact sheet for more information.
