Arizona terminated a lease with a Saudi Arabian farm that was pumping enough water from the state to supply nearly 50,000 Phoenix homes in one year.

and the Arizona State Land Department found that the company, Fondomonte Arizona, had stopped pumping water in Butler Valley, near the Colorado River. Hobbs took responsibility for the move.. “I’m not afraid to hold people accountable, maximize value for the state land trust, and protect Arizona’s water security.”

“I’m proud my administration has taken swift action to hold defaulting high-volume water users accountable and bring an end to these leases,” Hobbs said at the time. “And moving forward, I will continue to do everything in my power to protect Arizona’s water so we can continue to sustainably grow for generations to come.”
