MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 73A, QUARTZ MOUNTAIN
Maintenance District 73A, Quartz Mountain, is located southeast
of Coarsegold near State Highway 41 and Road 417 in Madera
County. The district will eventually provide water service
to about 139 homes and currently serves 120.
The water system consists of four deep wells drawing from
rock fractures approximately 400 to 875 feet below the earth’s
surface. The wells produce about 170 gallons per minute
to supply a 125,000 gallon storage tank. Manganese, a secondary
standard contaminant, occurs at a level that exceeds the
maximum contaminant level. A sequestering agent is added
to hold the naturally-occurring iron and manganese in suspension.
The distribution system is gravity fed through plastic pipes.
Communication between tank and wells is via telephone, and
an auto dialer notifies us of alarm conditions. This is
a metered system and the water 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.
