BACKGROUND: In 2007 the Legislature passed a measure that provides clear authority for cities and towns or counties to adopt an ordinance requiring new subdivisions to obtain from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (Department) a determination of the existence of an adequate 100-year water supply in order to obtain final plat approval from the local platting authority. As a result of this provision, the Department is in the process of amending its existing Adequate Water Supply Rules.
