The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) is a public agency that supplies water to various water providers throughout the southern California region, many of whom in turn, distribute the water to more localized water suppliers. Water used in Irvine that comes from outside Orange County is supplied by MWD. Mitigation actions that involve local water supplies may be implemented through coordination with both MWDOC and MWD. The agency may also provide technical support and other resources for mitigation actions involving water use. Comprised of State Routes 73, 133, 241, and 261, the Toll Roads make up over 20 percent of Orange County’s major thoroughfare highway system and are the fastest, easiest and most predictable way to get to and around Orange County; all of these routes border or go through Irvine. This agency can play a role in mitigation by identifying hazardous conditions along their network and work with neighboring jurisdictions like Irvine to reduce or eliminate the threat to these hazards.
