New Mundo Vista Well Boosts Tucson North Side Water
The Mundo Vista well at Country Club and East Second Street was connected to Tucson mains, raising north side pumpage to 6 million gallons daily. City official Merrill Biggs said the new well brings total operating wells to 16, easing load on the high pressure north side and slowing water level decline. The 1 152 000 gallons per day well was bought from a private company years ago and has now been integrated with a modern pump. Each north side well currently yields 700 to 1 000 gallons per minute.
