Loophole in law threatens future Arizona water supply, expert and lawmaker says

From Yavapai to Maricopa to Pinal counties, freestanding houses in planned communities are going up by the hundreds. But many are not for sale. They are for rent. It's a model that has only developed in the last few years across Arizona.

Very simple to me, one rule everyone plays buy period. Not sure why they allow loopholes. 100 years of water for a home regardless of use. Simple.

Why don’t they figure out the water problems? Like build additional reservoirs…you know like up in the canyons. Just a thought.

[@spacecoyote6646]

There's no water to fill new reservoirs.

Excellent decision-making let’s make a state holiday now so everyone can embrace the scare water in our beloved SW. This area is amazing. Let’s encourage other areas in the nation to actually show that they care about their state’s natural resources like we do. This is just a start.

We’re running out of water!!! Better call native Americans and solve the problem. They got the answers

It won't make it to committee. Az republicans are too worried about pronouns and crt to concern themselves with things that actually happen.
