The Indian Valley CSD operates two water systems for the communities of Crescent Mills and Greenville. It is very important to us to maintain the highest quality water service at reasonable prices.
There are approximately 600 connections in Greenville and 80 connections in Crescent Mills. The Greenville treatment plant processes 3/4 million gallons each and every day. The source for Greenville's water is Round Valley Reservoir pictured. This reservoir of 6000 acre feet was built in 1865 and is the oldest manmade lake in Plumas County.
We have recently invested over $3,000,000 in our water treatment and distribution systems. Future improvements planned include drilling wells for the community of
Greenville, as well as a major renovation of our water treatment facility. We are happy to report that under the California Prop 50 Bond Act we have been funded in the amount of 1.3 million dollars. This is 100% grant and will help to finish the job of rehabilitation.
There are unfortunately still some problem areas in our distribution systems. We are working towards a complete replacement of these old pipes. in the meantime you will see the IVCSD staff battle these leaks.
If you have a problem with the quality of your water please call the district office
immediately at 530-284-7224. Our after-hours emergency line is 530-394-8405.
The Indian Valley CSD provides sewer service for the communities of Greenville and Taylorsville. The Greenville system is made up of 570 Equivalent Dwelling units, 11 miles of collection mains, 4 pumping stations with average daily loads of 300,000 gallons, 29 acres of lagoons (pictured) and 130 manholes.
Greenville Sewer was initially built in 1959. The majority of the collection system is made of old cracked clay pipe. This broken pipe contributes to the excessive flows in the wintertime. The IVCSD is planning for the replacement of this obsolescent sewer system.
The Taylorsville system serves 91 users and is a community leach field. There are two pumps in the system and approximately 5 miles of collection mains.
These sewer systems are staffed by 1.5
full-time employees. These services are paid for through user fees.
