MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 28, RIPPERDAN
Maintenance District 28, Ripperdan, is located south of
the City of Madera on State Highway 145 and Avenue 7 in
Madera County. The district provides sewer and water service
to 16 homes. In addition, water service is provided under
contract to 1 home outside the district.
The sewer system consists of an asbestos cement pipe collection
system, a raw sewage pumping station, an extended aeration
treatment process, and seepage pits. The treatment plant
and pumping station operate fairly well with the exception
of normal problems associated with the plant’s age.
Water is supplied by one deep well drawing from an aquifer
approximately 470 to 520 feet underground. The well produces
an estimated 150 gallons per minute. The water enters a
pressurized distribution system constructed from asbestos
cement pipe. This water system is not chlorinated.
Madera County Engineering Department routinely monitors
for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal
and State laws. Our constant goal is to provide you with
a safe and dependable water supply. A Consumer Confidence
Report is prepared annually and delivered to all residents
served by the water district. These reports, prepared especially
for this district, are available for viewing below. Adobe
Acrobat Reader, which may be downloaded free of charge from
Adobe’s website, is required to view and/or print them.
Be aware that there is a one year lag time in these reports;
i.e., the report dated 2004 contains test results collected
in 2004, but the report is not written or released until
approximately June, 2005. Future dates will be posted as
they become available.
