GENERAL About PCWA Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) is the primary water resource agency for Placer County, California, with a broad range of responsibilities including water resource planning and management, retail and wholesale supply of drinking water and irrigation water, and production of hydroelectric energy. Watch "Where Does Our Water Come From? Part 1" featured on the PCWA YouTube Channel Overview Of The Placer County Water Agency Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) was created through an Act of the California State Legislature in 1957. PCWA’s jurisdiction encompasses the entire County of Placer, and it is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors. History of PCWA Energy and Water Development - Development of the Middle Fork American River Project: The immediate objective for the formation of the Agency was to preserve Placer County’s rich water resources for our future generations and protect these local benefits from development and exportation by other interests, as was occurring elsewhere in the state. It was at this time that San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, and the federal and state governments, were building reservoirs in water-rich areas of California and aqueducts to move that water to supply new farmlands and growing coastal cities. A bond measure to fund construction of the proposed Middle Fork American River Hydroelectric Project (MFP), backed by a 50-year PG&E contract for the energy output, passed by a vote of 25 to 1 and within 10 years of its formation, PCWA completed construction. The MFP’s reservoirs can store up to 340,000 acre-feet of water and its generators produce an average of 1.1 million megawatt hours of energy per year - enough clean energy to supply 240,000 homes.
