Working
in the Scenic
CCWD is headquartered in the City of Concord, but the Water District has facilities throughout its 135,964-acre service area. In addition, the Water District manages the 20,000-acre Los Vaqueros Watershed and Reservoir in the Inner Coast Range. Contra Costa County, one of the original 27 counties in the state, is bordered by the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to the north and anchored by Mt. Diablo State Park. The area is contrasted by urban and rural settings, diverse shopping and a network of trails connecting neighborhoods, parks and historic points of interest.
Contra Costa County is close to the world-class attractions of San Francisco and the Golden Gate, but without the cramped congestion of a big city. Bay Area Rapid Transit offers quick and convenient access to all the amenities of the San Francisco Bay Area. The weather here is moderate, and unlike San Francisco, it’s warm in the summer. Housing prices are generally less than most portions of the San Francisco Bay Area, with excellent primary and secondary schools and easy access to some of the finest universities in the world. Below are links to various maps of the area. Map

The
Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) is located in the scenic San Francisco
East Bay Area, near the base of Mt. Diablo.
It’s
not difficult to start the day fishing in the Delta, and then breaking
for lunch at a fine local restaurant. In the afternoon, it’s a nice
workout to hike on the picturesque Mt. Diablo Trail and then finish the
evening watching the nearby Oakland A’s play major league baseball. |
