The Village of Hesperia maintains its own independent public water system. The system is composed of 3 wells, 2 ground-based water storage tanks, 1 suspended (tower) water storage tank, and several miles of distribution pipe. The system is maintained by a staff of two, who perform the day-to-day maintenance and purity testing on the system. The system pulls groundwater up from the local aquifer located below the village and pumps it directly into the water tower. It is then gravity-fed through the system for use. Average water use is approximately 100,000 gallons per day. Maximum capacity is in excess of 150,000 gallons per day.
