The Clearwood Water System has two reservoirs located just outside of the back gate. We have an easement with Weyerhaeuser established in 1965. Reservoir #1 was installed in 1975 and holds 182,000 gallons of water. Reservoir #2 was added in 1997 and holds 423,00 gallons of water.

We have four wells. Wells #1 & 2 are located next to each other in Division 1. Well 1 was established in 1965 and is approximately 76 ft deep. Well #1 pumps approx.90 gpm (gallons per minutes). Well 2 was established in 1975 and is approximately 66ft deep with a pumping capacity of 320 gpm. Wells 3&4 are located next to each other in Div 7 next to our ball field. Well #3 was established in 1996 soon after abdoned due to sand issues following an earthquake. So it was necessary to establish well #4 in 2001. A finer screen was installed for better filtration of sand. Well #4 is approx 45 ft deep and pumps approx 300 gpm. So our primary wells are #1,2&4. Well # 3 can be used as a backup in dire circumstance but not as a primary source of water. To be used as a back up, well 3 will have to be scrubbed, tested and have a much smaller pump installed.

Our system has 1355 metered residential connections and 30 active metered community connections.

We have approx 61,000 ft of pipe which is approx. 80% asbestos concrete, 19% PVC and 1% ductile iron.

There are 35 fire hydrants in our system.

We are a Class A municipal water system regulated by the State Department of Health, “DOH“. We are required to have two certified Water District Manager II on staff.
