This letter covers several important items for both well owners and those on hauled water.
This letter was mailed to both Commercial water haulers and those that self-haul to notify them that water hauling will be limited to Scottsdale residents/businesses effective 12/31/2022. In other words - those that currently live east of 136th St., either North or South of Rio Verde Dr., will no longer be able to haul water from Scottsdale.
We want to thank the County for clarifying a lot of the misinformation within our Community about a District.
If you have questions - please give us a call. We are here for you! Karen Nabity - 602-299-5222 or Jennifer Simpson - 602-402-2206
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.
