Summary
The City of Mountain View’s primary water supplier is the SF RWS. The Santa Clara Valley Water District supplies treated water and Mountain View supplies groundwater. California Water Service also provides water to a small part of Mountain View. Mountain View’s system distributes water to three pressure zones via 176 miles of main, with inter-zonal connections that allow water to flow from adjacent zones. Mountain View has four water storage facilities.
Mountain View has 4 active wells (3 currently out of service). The wells influence each other, resulting in varied maximum and simultaneous flows. They are not currently operated at their maximum capacity due to various maintenance and operational issues.
