Our Leadership
The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is led by a service-driven board working to secure Orange County’s water future. Our seven-member Board of Directors, elected by the public, guides MWDOC’s policies and programs. Additionally, MWDOC appoints four representatives to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Board (Metropolitan), where they advocate for Orange County’s interests among 34 other regional representatives. Together, these leaders shape the strategies that ensure reliable, high-quality water for our communities.
