Clean Water Program

Our Local World of Water
There are five creeks that flow within and along Albany’s borders from the Berkeley hills to the San Francisco Bay: Cerrito, Codornices, Marin, Middle and Village. Cerrito and Codornices Creeks serve as the northern and southern borders of Albany and traverse residential private properties from the eastern Albany border to San Pablo Avenue in a combination of buried and open channels.

These creeks are above ground for most of their length from San Pablo Avenue to the Bay. The city’s watershed includes these five creeks along with all areas that drain into these creeks and eventually reach the Bay.

The Eastshore State Park Shoreline area is also located within the City at the end of Buchanan Street.
