"We have treated wastewater that the county treats," she explained."That gets treated further, that gets recharged and that's what irrigates a lot of our ball fields or school grounds, our cemeteries."
She says Tucson Water has about a six-year supply of water stored underground, and we do have the ability to pump groundwater as a last resort.
