Water Resources

The Community relies on watershed for a spring fed combination gravity/pump system as water supply.  This system produces pressures ranging from zero to 350 psi. 

The Mt. Lemmon Fire District responds to both structure and wildland fires.  The fire department utilizes CAFS (compressed air foam systems) and water tender shuttle operations from local water sources to assist with fire suppression.
