MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 46, AHWAHNEE
Maintenance District 46, Ahwahnee, is located in Madera
County northwest of Oakhurst near State Highway 49 and Harmony
Lane. The district will provide water service to a residential
development consisting of 105 homes at build out, plus an
additional 5 commercial units. There are about 94 homes
and commercial units currently in use.
The water system consists of six deep wells drawing from
rock fractures approximately 900 to 1160 feet below the
earth’s surface. The wells produce about 184 gallons per
minute. The system consists of two boost pump stations used
to supply two storage tanks designated MCC and ACC. The
storage tanks have a combined capacity of 185,000 gallons.
From there, water is distributed via gravity flow through
plastic pipe. A telephone system is used to communicate
between tanks and wells, and an auto dialer notifies us
of alarm conditions. This water system is chlorinated to
maintain disinfection.
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.
