On January 1, 1960, Mesa (formerly known as the Costa Mesa County Water District) commenced operations by acquiring the assets and obligations and assumed the responsibility of consolidating the city of Costa Mesa's Water Department, Fairview County Water District, Newport Heights Irrigation District, and Newport Mesa County Water District. The Santa Ana Heights Water Company was originally involved in merger discussions, but withdrew before consolidation. Mesa set a precedent with this merger as the first California water agency to consolidate two or more water agencies and assume both their assets and debts.
