Information

The Claremont Tunnel, built in 1929 and owned by EBMUD, is a 18,000-foot long tunnel that carries treated water from the eastern Orinda Filtration Plant, through the Berkely Hills, to three western distribution aqueducts located in and around Oakland. The water that's transported through this tunnel flows from the Mokelumne River and serves more than 70% of East Bay. EBMUD completed a seismic upgrade of the tunnel in 2007. Learn more about where your water comes from and how you can conserve it here.
