ABOUT THE DISTRICT
Background
In 1958, a local group of dedicated citizens, known as the Marina Community Service Corporation, proposed the formation of a municipal-owned water system with boundaries to coincide with the existing Marina Fire District, which was approximately 1,600 acres. Two years later, the Marina County Water District was formed by the registered voters of the then unincorporated City of Marina. In 1966, voters authorized the sale of water bonds totaling $950,000 to acquire a privately owned water company serving the area.
Our Vision
Today, we serve more than 40,000 customers and 9,500 accounts split roughly equally between Central Marina and the Ord Community on the former military base including California State University (CSU) Monterey Bay. Our vision is to become the leading public supplier of integrated water and wastewater services in the Monterey Bay Region.
Our Mission
Currently, the District is actively engaged in the conversion of the former Fort Ord military base to a vibrant mixed-use community, including approximately 6,000 new homes and several hundred thousand square feet of commercial/industrial facilities. Our mission is to provide high quality water, wastewater, and recycled water services to the District's expanding communities through management, conservation, and development of future resources at reasonable costs.
Our local water supply means you can be sure your water is clean, fresh, and sustainably sourced.
It's an exciting time to work for the District and to play an integral role in this high-profile opportunity, while also living on the Central Coast of California along the scenic Monterey Bay area-It just doesn't get any better...

Regional Government Services
Show moreOUR HISTORY
Regional Government Services Authority (RGS) is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) serving the needs of cities, counties, special districts, joint powers authorities, and other governmental entities since 2002. RGS works exclusively for the benefit of public agencies, providing a ready source of support and consulting services to meet the needs of its partner agencies in a broad range of disciplines and to help local governments meet three challenges:
- Decreasing revenues
- Increasing demands (and costs) for services, and
- Loss of experienced staff.
Local government leaders knew that these challenges were likely to continue, so agencies would have to work together – uniting not only their voices but their resources to advocate and become more efficient. The idea behind the creation of RGS was to form an agency that would help local governments share expertise and improve efficiencies. This was an emerging need. It did not require that each agency hire full-time staff. With the creation of this JPA, agencies could, in effect, share expertise through a third-party.
WHO WE ARE
Today, RGS is governed by several member agencies, all with the common goal expressed in the JPA’s MISSION STATEMENT: To provide quality, innovative, cost-effective services exclusively to public agencies. In November 2020, the 5-year Strategic Plan was adopted. Current member agency representation can be found on the Board of Directors page of this website.
RGS developed a highly flexible platform of administrative support, benefit plans and programs that could serve the diverse needs of cities, special districts, counties and other joint powers authorities. Flexibility was vital because the needs of partner agencies varied and because RGS services were 100 percent fee-based. Thus, RGS costs have always been able to ramp up or down quickly, as demand changed.
To further understand RGS main service lines, please see the RGS Services Brochure or the Services area of the website.

Regional Government Services Authority was formed under Section 6500, for the purpose of providing local governments with administrative, staffing and advisory services. RGS has now served over 300 cities, special districts, joint powers authorities and other local governments and non-profits that support local governments.
