Cholla Bay water

Does Cholla Bay have running water to the homes or only by truck delivery? Has any one hooked up to water? On the HOA website I found this.

Working with Cholla's developer, SBR, the water delivery system to Cholla has been improved. The water main valves to each of the Sandy Beach developments have been replaced with valves that equalize the pressure delivered to each user. Before this improvement, Cholla, being at the end of the line, often had a trickle of water being delivered to the water trucks. With the new valves, each user has the same water pressure. This improvement has significantly decreased the time required to fill the water
trucks! In a cooperative governmental effort, a water distribution system has been installed in the Mexican area of Borracho Flats. The Mexican federal government contributed 70% of the cost. The local municipal government paid 15% and the individual homeowners paid the remaining 15%. This 15% cost amounted
to approximately $140 per home. With the water system installed, running water is delivered to each home for about $10 per month.

The water comes to a fill spout at the front of Cholla Bay. A water truck will deliver it to you for a fee.

Borracho Flats is the only area of Cholla (currently) that has water piped directly to houses.
Water truck delivery costs $14-16 to have two 1100-1200 liter. tanks filled, lasts me 4-7 days depending on how many people are with us.
Water problems in Cholla have become rare since they replaced the valves and now have the water truck fill pipe running regularly.
Water deliveries are so much better than it was 10 years ago, No we are able to get water in 1-2 hours vs 1-2 days. :)
