In 1923, EBMUD was founded due to the rapid population growth and severe drought in the area. The district constructed Pardee Dam (finished in 1929) on the Mokelumne River in the Sierra Nevada, and a large steel pipe Mokelumne Aqueduct to transport the water from Pardee Reservoir across the Central Valley to the San Pablo Reservoir located in the hills of the East Bay region.
The aqueduct is the sole water supply for about 1.4 million people in the East Bay. [1] Under present water rights agreements, EBMUD can withdraw up to 325 million gallons (1,230,000 m 3) per day, or 364,000 acre-feet (0.449 km 3) per year, from the Mokelumne River.

In the worst-case scenario, slip along the fault would sever the tunnel, disrupting the water supply to approximately 50 to 70% (800,000) of EBMUD's customers for up to six months.
