Construction and upgrades to key elements of Madera’s water system are underway as part of a broad effort to ensure safe, dependable service for residents and businesses now and in the future.

The City’s water system relies exclusively on local groundwater. Madera operates 18 municipal wells that each produce between 800 and 1,200 gallons per minute, serving daily water needs across the community. 

The City’s water network includes nearly 200 miles of water mains, roughly 4,000 street valves, and more than 15,000 customer service connections.
