As water supplies continue to dwindle in Arizona, various Valley cities are starting to ask people to conserve water. Here's what you should know.
What Valley cities are enacting water conservation measures?
"I don't understand and do not, in any way, agree with my predecessor choosing to keep this from the public and members of this legislator," Hobbs said"Department of Water Resources that shows portions of Phoenix's far West Valley are currently short of the 100-year assured water supply program by 15% today."
Chandler says it has been preparing for droughts and a Colorado River shortage for decades and is prepared for a shortage. During the first stage, the city will target a 5% water reduction goal and ask residents and businesses to conserve water."Glendale identified this issue several years ago and since then, we have been aggressively storing water for future use," Phelps
"The largest user of water in the City of Mesa is the City of Mesa, so we are looking for opportunities to be more frugal in the way that we use water. To be more responsible in what we irrigate and what we don’t," said Mayor Giles."The point of that plan is really to raise awareness in how people think seriously about what they can do to exercise conservation measures in the use of the water of their families and businesses," said Mayor Giles.
"We now are up to $1,000, plus $100 extra for trees," said City of Mesa Conservation Coordinator Becky Zusy. "We had this program since 2007 and hadn't raised the incentive since then. It was time." According to the statement, the city will, in Stage 1, reduce municipal water use at city facilities and operations by at least 5%.
"We want [customers] to be participants, to do things on a voluntary basis because as soon as you start mandating things, it becomes a little more difficult, and people look at it as a temporary situation," said Campbell. "This is not a temporary situation. This might be our new future." Campbell said the city's $300 million investigation into a drought pipeline running from Central to North Phoenix will take water from the Salt and Verde Rivers, instead of the Colorado. Campbell also says she expects a water rate hike in 2023, by an unknown amount.As many Arizona cities look for ways to reduce water use by its residents, the City of Scottsdale has a plan to pay people to remove their lawn.

In addition, both commercial and residential properties within the city are eligible for turf conversion rebates.
