Town of Discovery Bay
Once a quaint hamlet on the eastern border of Contra Costa County, the upscale community of Discovery Bay has grown from a
weekend retreat into a year-round, family-based town of nearly 10,000 residents. Today, Discovery Bay – whose motto is Live
Where You Play – boasts shopping centers, schools, churches, and recently its own ZIP code. Future plans include the implementation
of a community center and a joint-use library.
The town is governed by the Community Services District (CSD), which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. The CSD’s fivemember
elected board takes care of the town’s water, sewer and landscaping needs. The board also provides recommendations to the county
regarding local issues such as commercial ventures, housing and police services. The Reclamation District 800 (Rec 800) is a special district
governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing and maintaining the levee system in Discovery Bay. Rec 800
also manages water drainage and circulation of the town’s lakes and lagoons.
Discovery Bay’s boat docks and access to 1,200 miles of Delta waterways allow locals to enjoy an abundance of watersports, including
boating, windsurfing, fishing and swimming. The town also boasts excellent tennis facilities and a championship golf course, the Discovery
Bay Country Club.
