Equally inspiring, the discovery that William Teague, my 5x great-grandfather, once farmed this very land in the late 1800s, imbues our work with a profound sense of purpose and continuity. This ancestral connection deepens our commitment to the stewardship of the land, honoring a legacy of resilience and dedication to agriculture.

OUR VALLEY HERITAGE
Alfred Charles Cane: A Trailblazer in Building the Madera Valley Water District
In the heart of Madera, California, a true pioneer named Alfred Charles Cane left an indelible mark on the community through his unwavering dedication and love for environmental stewardship. His inspiring journey shaped the very foundation of the Madera Valley Water District, transforming it from a depreciated entity into a thriving water district that continues to serve the community to this day.
Back in 1956, the Madera Valley Water Company came into being under the management of Rusco Industries. Over time, however, the company's value declined, prompting Rusco Industries to divest itself of this precious resource. It was then that Alfred Cane, the largest stockholder, was entrusted with the company's destiny as he took on the role of a Director on the Board.
Recognizing the immense potential held by the Madera Valley Water Company, Mr. Cane wasted no time in assembling a dedicated team to embark on a transformative journey. With the appointment of Mr. Herman Kophoff and Mr. M. Rader Roberts to the Board of Directors, a powerful collective was formed, determined to breathe new life into the company and serve the community with utmost devotion.
The summer of 1977 proved to be a challenging time for the shareholders residing in the service area. Faced with numerous changes and uncertainties, they were confronted with the task of establishing order and structure within the company. It was during this period that the true spirit of community shone through, as shareholders came together in living rooms, on front lawns, and across kitchen tables to unite and face the challenges head-on.
One of the greatest obstacles encountered by Mr. Cane and the shareholders was the lack of records left by Rusco Industries. Undeterred, a group of dedicated volunteers took up the arduous task of walking the main water lines, meticulously piecing together information, and drafting essential documents. Their tireless efforts were instrumental in establishing an accounting system, informing contractors of new regulations and company specifications, and ensuring a smooth transition for all.
Piece by piece, the puzzle started to take shape. In January 1978, the company's business office opened its doors, initially renting space at Glen Freeman Realty. As the community continued to grow, a permanent location became imperative. In May 1978, the company found its new home at the corner of 6th and A Streets in downtown Madera. Finally, in August 1986, the district settled into its present location at 18454 Road 26, a testament to the perseverance and dedication of its shareholders.
Under the visionary leadership of Alfred Charles Cane, the Madera Valley Water District experienced remarkable growth. From humble beginnings with approximately 75 homes in 1977, it expanded its reach to serve 1,906 residences today. This remarkable achievement stands as a testament to Mr. Cane's unwavering determination and the enduring spirit of the community he helped build.
Alfred Charles Cane's legacy lives on in the Madera Valley Water District, an enduring testament to his vision, resilience, and profound commitment to providing vital water services to the community. His remarkable contributions have laid the foundation for the district's continued success and growth, enriching the lives of thousands of residents for generations to come. Inspired by his legacy, we carry forward his spirit of environmental stewardship and community love as we embark on our own journey with Green Power 4 All, dedicated to bringing sustainable energy solutions and a brighter future to all.
