Peoria and Cave Creek Team Up on Water

Peoria and Cave Creek are locking in a smart, temporary water deal to survive the Colorado River’s drying up—Peoria gives Cave Creek water now, and in return, Cave Creek unlocks its underground reserves, plus pays a fee to help Peoria’s system. This isn’t their first rodeo: Peoria already teamed up with Tucson in 2023. Mayors say these partnerships are essential for resilience as drought bites. The agreement caps at 450 acre-feet yearly, runs until 2033, and gives Cave Creek time to secure its own future water. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
