Facilities


Thomas R. Smythe Water Plant


In August 2015, Harbor View Mutual Water Company unveiled its new, state-of-the-art water plant. After several years of strategizing for funding, planning and construction, the new plant came on line and is delivering great quality water to our community. The Water Plant is dedicated to Thomas R. Smythe, HVMWC President from 2010-2016, in recognition of his hard work and dedication on behalf of Riviera West water users.


Impressive Water Plant Facts


  • Our water plant makes 170 gallons a minute or 10,000 gallons per hour.
  • The Dissolved Air Floatation Device (DAF) uses water saturated with air to float large amounts of organics out of the water for pretreatment. This removes around 80 percent of the turbidity out of the water.
  • Three mixed media filters remove the last twenty percent of fine particles; two large carbon filters then remove any taste and odors left in the finish water.
  • The water then travels up to 822 feet in elevation through three more pump stations and five miles of main pipes to reach our 250 active connections. 


Water Conservation


To All Riviera West Property Owners:


Given California’s history of drought, we strongly urge all Harbor View Mutual Water Company users to conserve water in all their daily activities. Critically low water table levels and low lake levels occur periodically and can threaten our water system.


Using water wisely helps protect our water system, especially during periods of short supply such as our recent five-year long drought. When you use water outdoors, use a spray nozzle which regulates flow and shuts off when not needed.


It is always important to conserve water and care should be taken to prevent any unnecessary use. Please consider installing low-flow devices on all of your in-home faucets and showers, and installing low flow/flush toilets. Installing drought resistant landscaping and drip irrigations systems also save water. Water conservation is important and saves you money.


Should you have any questions about water conservation or low flow devices, please contact our administrative office at 707-279-8544.
