Who We Are
Water Resources is one of several departments in the County's Municipal
Services Agency. Department staff manage the County's surface water and
groundwater resources through the powers of the County of Sacramento and the
Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA). The governing body of both the County of
Sacramento and the SCWA is the County Board of Supervisors. The Department
provides drainage, flood control, and water supply services in various service areas of unincorporated Sacramento County and the
Cities of Citrus Heights and Elk Grove.
The Department is split into three
major water-related functions:
What We Do

performed at the downtown Sacramento office located at 827 Seventh Street. At
the 3847 Branch Center Road facility, employees perform engineering services
related to operating and maintaining drainage, flood control, and water supply
systems. Field crew services are provided by staff of the Municipal Services
Agency’s Water Quality and Transportation Departments.
