About Us
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest permitted level of a contaminant in municipal water. Primary MCLs are established as close to the PHGs (or MCLGs) as economically and technologically feasible. Secondary MCLs protect odor, taste, and appearance of water.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The contaminant level in municipal water below which no known or expected health risks exist. MCLGs are established by the U.S. EPA.
Public Health Goal (PHG): The contaminant level in municipal water below which no known or expected health risks exist. PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency.
Primary Municipal Water Standard (PMWS): MCLs and MRDLs for contaminants affecting health, including monitoring requirements and water treatment standards.
Secondary Municipal Water Standards (SMWS): MCLs for contaminants affecting taste, odor, or appearance without affecting health at MCL levels.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of drinking water disinfectant below which no known or expected health risk exists. MRDLGs don't reflect benefits of disinfectants for controlling microbial contaminants.
Regulatory Action Level (RAL): The contaminant concentration which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements for a water system.
Treatment Technique (TT): A required process designed to reduce contaminant levels in municipal water.
Units: mg/L (milligrams per liter or parts per million), ug/L (micrograms per liter or parts per billion), pCi/L (picocuries per liter, radiation measure), umhos (micromhos per centimeter, dissolved minerals), NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit, water cloudiness measure).

By the 1920s, Montecito had transformed into an upscale community with numerous grand estates and gardens. However, residents struggled with inconsistent service from various small private water providers. In 1921, local citizens voted 182 to 11 to establish the Montecito County Water District to address these issues.
The organization officially changed its name to "Montecito Water District" in 1979. The District was originally formed with the primary purpose of supplying safe, potable water throughout the service area.
The District serves the southern coastal region of Santa Barbara County, encompassing the unincorporated communities of Montecito and Summerland. Currently serving approximately 13,100 residents through roughly 4,500 connections, the District anticipates continued development of undeveloped parcels within its boundaries, with projected population growth to approximately 15,650 by 2020.

Contact the Department of Public Utilities at (413) 499-9330 to schedule a final reading.

A balance ahead indicates unpaid previous bill(s) or late charges. The amount equals outstanding principal plus accumulated interest.
