Arizona Groundwater Deal Delivers Wells | Tucson News

In Cochise County, Arizona, a groundbreaking $11 million groundwater settlement is making real impact—22 wells fixed or redrilled for families hit by plummeting water levels. The deal, signed with Riverview LLP in January 2026, marks a first for Arizona—and possibly the nation. Beyond new wells and water hauling help, Riverview pledged to let 2,000 acres of farmland go fallow over 12 years to reduce groundwater use in Sulphur Springs Valley. The Attorney General’s office is closely monitoring compliance, ensuring Riverview delivers on both conservation and financial promises. If you’re in the valley and struggling with water access, you may still qualify for aid. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
