In August 2014 we officially unveiled Harbor View Mutual’s Thomas R. Smythe Water Treatment Plant. As Board President, Tom led a hard-working group of volunteer Board members who had one goal in mind: a long-term solution to our water delivery system.
​
Since its opening, the treatment plant has operated reliably and the new DAF clarifier has been key in dealing with any high level of algae present in Clear Lake in the summer months. The treatment plant includes a SCADA system and automated report generation process that is used to develop the monthly monitoring reports which are required to be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board.
​
As we are a mutual water company, each of the approximately 460 properties in Riviera West owns a share. Over the years, we’ve installed new backup generators for use during a power emergency, upgraded our water meters to provide better usage and leak monitoring, and replaced all the failing redwood water storage tanks with new steel tanks.
​
Impressive Water Plant Facts
-
Our water plant has a maximum treatment capacity of 175 gallons per minute and can produce a net maximum of approximately 220,000 gallons of potable water per day.
-
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.
​
The Harbor View water plant was dedicated to Thomas R. Smythe for his loyal service and unwaverng commitment to bringing quality water to the Riviera West community. Mr. Smythe was a Riviera West resident and served as Harbor View President from 2010 to 2016.

Through the hard work and perseverence of our volunteer Board of Directors, we were able to secure grant funding to construct new water storage tanks in 2022. The tanks represent a long-term, sustainable upgrade from the original, hand-built redwood tanks installed in 1970.
