CMUA was formed in 1933 to protect the interests of California’s consumer-owned utilities before the California Legislature.  Following our many legislative successes, CMUA launched a new program in 2010 to increase its advocacy efforts before both administrative and regulatory agencies that may have a significant impact on California’s energy and water utility operations.

Today, CMUA represents its members' interests on energy and water issues before the California Legislature, the Governor’s Office and the maze of regulatory bodies, such as the State Water Resources Control Board, the California Air Resources Board, the Department of Water Resources, the California Independent System Operator, and the California Energy Commission.
