Our Service District
Our History
The community of Westhaven is in an unincorporated area of northern Humboldt County. The Westhaven Community Services District (CSD) roughly encompasses the coastal area just north of Moonstone Beach and south of the City of Trinidad. The District is approximately 0.60 square miles in size.
Westhaven CSD was formed on May 17, 1988 by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors under Community Service District Law, pursuant to California Government Code, Title 6, Division 2. The five member Board of Directors are locally elected by the District residents and supervise the business of the District. Westhaven CSD employs a General Manager who is responsible for administering and implementing policies set by the Board.
The Westhaven water system, now operated by the CSD, was originally developed by the Westhaven Mutual Water Company (WMWC), which was incorporated in 1968. The WMWC system was operated without filtration, adequate disinfection or treated water storage facilities. The District was formed in response to increasing State Department of Health Services pressure to construct water treatment, distribution and storage facilities that met municipal water quality standards. Once formed, the District assumed ownership and operation of all facilities then owned and operated by WMWC. The Westhaven CSD was formed in hopes of being able to make the needed improvements to the system and has been successfully in greatly improving water quality and water service. We hope to continue making improvements to our water system and our water quality and to expand our water supply so that we can provide service to more households within our district boundaries.
