MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 43, MIAMI CREEK KNOLLS
Maintenance District 43, Miami Creek Knolls, is located
in Madera County, northwest of Oakhurst in the area of State
Highway 49 and Lauri Lane. This district currently provides
water service to 27 homes.
Water is supplied from four deep wells drawing from rock
fractures approximately 200 to 400 feet below the earth’s
surface. The wells, with a combined production of approximately
15 gallons per minute, supply a 13,000 gallon storage tank.
The district has also arranged for the purchase of a supplemental
supply of water on an automatic, as-needed basis from Maintenance
District 60, Dillon Estates. Boost pumps and pressure tanks
are used to supply the district. The distribution system
is 1½ and 2 inch ABS, poly and steel pipe. The Miami Creek
system exceeds the maximum contaminant level for nitrate.
By blending this water with Dillon Estates’, the nitrate
level is reduced and maintained at a safe level; however,
it is uncertain how long MD-60 can continue to supplement
the water supply and it must be understood that this is
not a long-term solution. The primary focus for each district
is to provide enough water of sufficient quantity and quality
to meet its own needs. While the County is looking for ways
to make these major system improvements, it is safe to say
that they will result in additional expense for the residents.
The Miami Creek system is 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.
