Sources and Further Public-Agency Discovery

Reviewed October 8, 2026. These are public-sector utility association resources, not state government agencies. Use public-agency member directories; private associate/vendor lists are outside NJS’s scope for this page.

• California Municipal Utilities Association — Public Utility Members
• American Public Power Association — California Public Power Providers
• California Association of Sanitation Agencies — Public Agency Members
• Association of California Water Agencies — Public Agency Directory (look for agency members, not private associates).
• California Urban Water Agencies — Member Employment Links
• Southern California Public Power Authority — Member Careers

A “public water system” is a regulatory term and does not by itself mean government ownership. This directory uses public-agency membership evidence rather than that label alone.
