MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 7, MARINA VIEW
Maintenance District 7, Marina View, is located on the
north shore of Bass Lake on Road 274. The district will
provide water and sewer service to approximately 92 homes
when final build out is complete. About 76 homes are currently
served.
The sewer system consists of an asbestos cement pipe collection
system, one raw sewage pumping station, an extended aeration
treatment process, chlorine disinfection, treated water
pumping, pond and sprayfield. The treatment plant will accept
the sewage without threat of overflow. The treatment process
was bought in the 60s and has been modified to operate at
today’s standards.
Water for the district is supplied from two deep wells
drawing from rock fractures approximately 200 to 550 feet
below the surface. The wells, with a combined production
of about 57 gallons per minute, supply two storage tanks
with a combined capacity of 95,000 gallons. From there,
the system utilizes a gravity fed distribution system to
supply the district. This water system is not chlorinated
and is not recommended for drinking. The County
sends out quarterly notices advising property owners that
the water supply from MD-7 exceeds the established maximum
contaminant levels for Gross Alpha and Uranium. This is
an official notification that the water system does not
meet acceptable standards. There is a potential health risk
in the long-term consumption of this water. Prudent action
would be to purchase bottled water for drinking and cooking.
The water may be used for bathing, washing dishes, washing
clothes, and watering the yard at no risk. If the property
is a rental or is rented occasionally, please make sure
your tenants receive a copy of this notice. Any further
questions may be directed to either the Engineering or Environmental
Health Departments at (559) 661-6333 or (559) 675-7823.
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.
