 East Bay Municipal Utility District
The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is a multi-county public water agency that serves over one million citizens on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay.
EBMUD also took responsibility for maintenance of all fire hydrants in the district with the exception of wharf heads which remained local fire agencies' responsibility until they were phased out.
The first EBMUD spec hydrants appeared in 1945 and are still being refurbished and placed back into service, both within EBMUD and by other agencies that purchased them at salvage for reconditioning and use within their jurisdictions.

In the early 1990s, the EBMUD board agreed to delay drawing on the American River, with the attendant capital expenditure, and instead turned to a plan for conjunctive use—joint groundwater storage—of Mokelumne River water with users in San Joaquin County.
EBMUD was unwilling to abandon the Nimbus plans, even conditionally, until an alternative was completed.
In addition, EBMUD's concern with drinking water quality was not reflected in the CALFED process, which was more focused on the issues of environmental restoration of the Delta and water supply reliability.

 East Bay Municipal Utility District committed to tapping American River for supplemental water supply to safeguard ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The district had a long and acrimonious history with Sacramento interests, demonstrated most notably by a 17-year legal battle which ended in a 1990 Superior Court decision affirming the district's right to take water from the American River.
Today, after EBMUD has invested hundreds of hours in negotiating sessions, millions of dollars in studies, and negotiated a project proposal approved in concept by the Sacramento Board of Supervisors nearly two years ago, Sacramento representatives say now their community lacks the "political will" to execute the deal.
EBMUD still feels the regional deal would provide the most benefit to both communities and hopes that Sacramento interests will come to the same conclusion and return to the bargaining table to finish that process.

 East Bay Municipal Utility District; P.2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
In the mid 1960s EBMUD was modernizing its image and there was interest in producing a more modern, streamlined looking hydrant that was easier to maintain, had improved hydraulic efficiency and even greater traffic impact resistance.
In 1964 EBMUD engineers produced a somewhat wedge shaped design where the gussets were an integral part of both the structural and aesthetic design.
During the 1990s EBMUD experimented with less expensive "off the shelf" hydrants, however none were as reliable as their own design to which they have since gone back by way of the Rich Model 5, which is a generically produced version of the Model 64.

 Bay Area Hiker: Lafayette Reservoir
Maybe when I visited it was the breeze blowing off the water that made the temperature feel a good 10 degrees cooler at the trailhead than on the sunbaked ridge, but regardless, expect to sweat on Rim Trail in the summer.
There are some fl and valley oaks to admire in autumn, but I would elect to visit in spring, when the east bay temperatures are more hospitable to outdoor activities.
The Olmsted Brothers map shows this stretch as a hogback, and it is certainly a challenge to hikers with tender knees and/or hips.
