All
wells can produce a total of 5.5 MGPD water. At present our
highest daily use is 3.2 MGPD. Our wells pump from the Carrizo/Wilcox
Aquifer at a depth of 1250' to 1260'. Water is pumped direct from the
aquifer to aeration and disinfected with chlorine gas. Natural
fluoride is .4 mg/l and added fluoride to an optimum of .8 mg/l.
