The leader of the Phoenix Water Services Department outlines how the city is planning out its future water use, and looking to partner with residents and businesses to ensure the future availability of this precious resource.

By Troy Hayes – Contributing writerWater is an essential resource for the sustainability of any community. But water is even more precious in the Valley of the Sun, and the supply is not infinite. We must all work together to do our part to conserve water so that future generations can enjoy the desert lifestyle that so many of us cherish.

Over the decades, Phoenix developed a robust and diverse water resource portfolio with multiple sources and contingency supplies to provide our customers with safe, affordable, and reliable water. While the current Colorado River shortage is a concern, it is also an opportunity. It is an opportunity to refocus on how we use water in the desert.

Water-efficient appliances, low-flow toilets, and fixtures are also essential conservation tools, and the city will soon launch programs that help people to make these substantial changes. Phoenix is also working to promote water-saving technology for cooling systems in large buildings.In Phoenix, we will continue to invest in infrastructure projects that provide resiliency, such as underground water storage and piping.

Phoenix is committed to exploring the development of additional renewable surface water supplies. The supplies will be a significant addition to our water resiliency; yet it is important to understand that the cost to acquire, treat, and deliver these water supplies will be significant.
