In the Town of Discovery Bay, our CSD oversees water, sewer, landscaping and recreation. In addition, the CSD Board can advise the County on other services and issues impacting the community. By forming a CSD, Discovery Bay residents ensured that the essential services of Discovery Bay would be managed locally and independently of the County, enabling our community to have a stronger voice in the type and level of service the Town receives.

A Community Services District (CSD) is a governing body that can be formed by residents of an unincorporated area to ensure that basic service needs are met. Some Community Services Districts provide water, sewer, police and fire services, garbage collection, recreation, landscaping, street lighting, mosquito abatement, graffiti abatement, library services and more. All services not handled by the CSD are managed by the County.

Discovery Bay was established in the early 1970s as a mostly weekend and summer resort community. Today, Discovery Bay has evolved into a thriving year-round home for over 14,000 residents who enjoy small-town living against the backdrop of over 1,200 miles of Delta waterways.  Approximately 60% of Discovery Bay homes are located in the original part of town, while the remaining homes are in Discovery Bay West.

Boasting a full-service deep water yacht harbor with a fully stocked chandlery and marina shops, two shopping centers, three public schools and one private school, Discovery Bay provides a variety of commercial and retail outlets and dining opportunities throughout town.

Boaters can navigate from Discovery Bay to San Francisco Bay, enabling residents to literally go anywhere in the world from their own backyard. Whether you enjoy fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding or simply exploring the California Delta, there is no shortage of things to do here. If golf is your preference, the Discovery Bay Country Club is your place.  With a challenging Ted Robinson designed championship course, the course will keep you challenged with every stroke.

Discovery Bay enjoys a wonderful spectrum of seasonal climates including everything from warm summers to temperate winters.
