John Coleman, East Bay Municipal Utilities District

will discuss the History of East Bay M.U.D.

-How and why was it formed in 1923 and where will it be

going in 2015 and beyond.

-As our communities grow and water to support the families,

businesses and agriculture becomes more scarce, and

understanding of the resources is vital.

Lafayette and Walnut Creek, Town of Danville, communities of

Blackhawk and Diablo, and portions of Pleasant Hill and San

Ramon. He was elected to the Board of Directors in 1990 and

has been elected as Vice-President and President during that

time. His current term expires December 31, 2018.

Mr. Coleman has strong ties to our community. He is the

immediate past Scoutmaster of and is now Eagle Adviser for

Troop 243 in Lafayette. He has been elected to the Council

Executive Board of the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council.
