Jan's post was from almost 2 years ago.
The only fresh surface water is 35 miles west in Matomi Canyon... So ground water or desalinized sea water (which requires electricity) is it.

I notice in one rooftop picture there is a compressor/condenser unit for a Mini-split AC unit. Is the solar power system sized to handle AC in that
house?
captkw - I'm sure the water will come via water trucks from San Felipe, a bit expensive but the only choice other than a local de-sal unit.

Good water down south comes from a well at km60+ via truck. If it was my place I would run it thru an RO system to remove the dissolved salts. We
have to do that with the municipal water in SF also.
Splits are very efficient we see them in the solar communities. Just add panels and batteries and keep the AC unit small.

That sounds like the Arroyo Matomi well (near Rancho San Rafael)... it's been there since the 50's I think!

Yes, I use mini splits in my off grid, solar house, but I have 6500 watts of panels, didn't see anywhere near that many in that picture, maybe in some
other area. |

I looked at the website for the development and it's so NOT updated that they still have a page touting the excitement of the Escalara Nautica on it.
I kid you not. http://ranchocostaverde.com/?page_id=144 Among other things there's a small picture of a couple of boats with a caption that says "The
Escalera Nautica is happening NOW in San Felipe".
And this:
THE ESCALERA NAUTICA
22 full-service marinas
84-mile highway route for towing boats from one side of the peninsula to the other
New 4 lane highways from the U.S./Mexico border down to Cabo San Lucas
Modernization of the 10 existing international airports
More Information OMFG, lol.

Where does the water come from?
