MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 8A, NORTH FORK
Maintenance District 8A, North Fork, is located in the
town of North Fork in Madera County. The district will provide
sewer and water service to approximately 200 homes, apartments
and businesses when final build out is complete. About 155
are currently served by the water and/or sewer systems.
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, irrigation pump station and sprayfield. The
pond, irrigation pump station and sprayfield are located
on Auberry Road. The treatment plant has the capacity to
operate very well at the current flows; however, future
growth will necessitate plant upgrades.
Water for the district is supplied from one deep well drawing
from rock fractures approximately 520 feet below the surface.
The well produces about 240 gallons per minute and supplies
a 200,000 gallon storage tank. From there, the system utilizes
a gravity fed distribution system to supply the district.
There is one other well within the district for future use.
The system is fairly new, with PVC distribution system piping.
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.
