Mesa Water District (Mesa Water) is a special district governed by a publicly-elected, 5-member Board of Directors who set policy, establish rates and provide oversight over District operations. Directors serve a four-year term, are elected by division and represent the District on internal committees and external agencies and organizations to ensure that customers receive safe, reliable water.

Mesa Water District began 2013 with a big branding bang by renaming the organization Mesa Water District, with “Mesa Water” for short, and by launching a new logo and look. 

Formerly known as the Costa Mesa County Water District, the District was renamed Mesa Consolidated Water District in 1978 to pay tribute to its initial formation in 1960 that resulted from consolidating the city of Costa Mesa's Water Department, Fairview County Water District, Newport Heights Irrigation District, and Newport Mesa County Water District.
