Where does Cabo San Lucas get water?

The local waters come down a thousand feet from the very tall mountain range of Sierra de La Laguna north of Cabo. The Cabo San Lucas water supply is piped from aquifers or from desalination plants in the area. They are then treated locally and usually undergo further treatment at the hotel or restaurant level.
