Water | Wastewater | Drainage | Security | Solid Waste | Admin Water (more info & photos) Water Source and Storage The source of water for all uses is primarily the Cosumnes River plus some direct rainfall into reservoir watersheds. State water rights permit diversion for municipal usage only during winter and spring months. Raw water is diverted from the river at Granlees Dam and pumped into Lakes Calero, Chesbro, and Clementia. When full, these lakes have the capacity to supply all municipal needs at full build-out, with reasonable conservation practices, for at least two years.   Water Treatment and Distribution Raw water, primarily from Lakes Calero and Chesbro, is treated to potable standards at a treatment plant located at the north end of Lake Clementia.   Wastewater Collection, Storage, and Reuse (more info & photos) Imposed at the formation of Rancho Murieta, state regulations prohibit any discharge of wastewater into the Cosumnes River. Regulations require treated wastewater to be used for irrigation of golf courses, parks, and common areas.  When needed for irrigation, the stored, partially treated wastewater is processed through a state-of-the-art tertiary system. The golf courses use this treated effluent to supplement and/or replace raw river water and to reduce wastewater reservoir levels.   Drainage (more info & photos) Storm water and irrigation runoff are collected in the drainage system throughout the community. A major component of Rancho Murieta's storm drainage system is the extensive amount of natural swales, streams, and tributaries. Runoff is filtered through detention ponds prior to being returned to the Cosumnes River. In addition, the District maintains the levees which protect the low lying areas from flooding.   Security (more info & photos) Two of the most important reasons for living in Rancho Murieta are the privacy and security. Residents enjoy 24-hour patrol 7 days a week. Entrances into the private residential areas are also staffed 24 hours a day and have automated access lanes for visitors and residents.   Solid Waste (more info & photos) Solid Waste collection is the newest service offered by Rancho Murieta CSD.   Administration (more info & photos)
