Scottsdale Banks Water for Future

Scottsdale’s City Council is poised to vote on a major water strategy: buying $8.25 million in long-term storage credits from the Harquahala Valley. These credits, priced at $550 per acre-foot, represent stored water in a drought-proof basin west of Buckeye — a critical move to diversify Scottsdale’s water portfolio beyond the vulnerable Colorado River. By securing these credits, the city isn’t just adding water to its reserves — it’s building resilience, flexibility, and future-proof security, allowing it to either use or sell the credits later. This proactive step underscores Scottsdale’s long-standing commitment to planning ahead and safeguarding water for residents and businesses amid growing regional uncertainty.
