This letter is an update on Scottsdale's position regarding water hauling to non-residents.
The letter says, "Should we be in a Tier 1 shortage in 2023, Scottsdale will impose its Stage 1 restrictions on water hauling."
As of the May 2021 U.S. Bureau of Reclamation report, a Tier 2 shortage is "Most Probable" for 2023.
Those opposing the formation of the Rio Verde Foothills Domestic Water Improvement District submitted a petition against the establishment of the RVF DWID to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. This is the detailed response from those petitioning FOR the formation of the RVF DWID.
When a noncontiguous District submits its petition it must include "consent" from any town/city within 6 miles. Consent was obtained from Fountain Hills, Carefree and Scottsdale. We have included the transcript from Scottsdale's Council Meeting Item #13 since Scottsdale discusses Lake Mead's projected Tier 1 shortage declaration which will reduce Scottsdale's water availability, misinformation in the Rio Verde Foothills and emphasize the importance of RVF obtaining its own water source.
