WWID currently has approximately 370 service connections serving a population of approximately 950 people. WWID currently has 3 wells. Well # 3 was drilled and put into operation in 2020 with a grant paid for by North American Development Bank. Well #3 has a variable frequency drive control enabling it to pump between 2 and 200 gallons per minute depending on the demand. Well #1and Well #2 are each equipped with a storage tank, 2 booster pumps and a pressure tank. Well # 1 pumps approximately 85 gallons per minute Well # 2 pumps approximately 35 gallons of water per minute. The combined storage capability of the 2 storage tanks is approximately 200,000 gallons of water. Well #2 is equipped with a propane generator which allows WWID to continue to provide water to its customers during power outages, this is extremely important during the monsoon season when Arizona experiences frequent power outages.
