Scottsdale’s Water Purchase Leaves Big Questions

Scottsdale just spent $8.25 million on water from the Harquahala Valley—but without a plan to deliver it, the real cost is still unknown. The city bought 15,000 acre-feet, but no one knows how much it’ll cost to build pipelines and connect to the Central Arizona Project. Complicating matters, arsenic levels in the water mean costly treatment is needed before it can even enter the system. While the purchase is official, the logistical and financial hurdles ahead reveal just how complex securing water truly is. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
