Does the additional water from this project mean an end to watering restrictions at ACWWA?
Although the additional water rights acquired in this project will secure a long-term reliable water supply, it does not change the fact that we live in a semi-arid climate where severe droughts like what was seen in 2002 can happen.

Water supply availability and sometimes operational issues can require watering restrictions. ACWWA’s water supply will still be managed as efficiently as possible in order to keep costs down. As this project and others develop, and climactic conditions are assessed, ACWWA will evaluate the issues and make determinations as necessary.
