Description of the Agency 2.1. Organization, Purpose and Powers The Agency is a dependent special district established under the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (the "District Act"). The District Act (Act 20 of the Uncodified Acts of the California Water Code) was passed by the state Legislature in 1949. The Agency was established by a vote of the residents of the Livermore-Amador Valley (the "Livermore Valley") area in 1957, with its own independently elected board to provide local control of integrated water resources. The Agency is responsible for providing wholesale treated (drinking) and untreated (agricultural irrigation) water, flood control and groundwater management throughout eastern Alameda County. The Agency is further authorized by the District Act to prevent interference with or diminution of, or to declare rights in the natural flow of any stream or surface or subterranean supply of waters used or useful for any purpose of the Agency and to prevent contamination, pollution or otherwise rendering unfit for beneficial use the surface or subsurface water used or useful in the Agency. The Agency has broad powers to finance, construct and operate a system for the transportation, storage, treatment, and distribution of water. The Agency is also authorized to levy replenishment assessments upon the production of groundwater from all water-producing facilities, whether public or private, within the Agency's service area. In 2003, the legislature passed Assembly Bill 1125 and gave the Agency Board full authority and autonomy to govern matters solely affecting the Agency independently of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors, acting as the Board of Supervisors of the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (the "District"), governs the other nine zones of the District. The other zones are operationally and financially independent from the Agency. 2.2.
