Water is always a concern for Maricopa residents. With agriculture in the area and a growing population, ensuring resources for the future is a top priority.
Pinal County Water Augmentation Authority (PCWAA) Executive Director Joe Singleton presented his organization’s purposes to the Maricopa City Council during their work session Tuesday night.
The PCWAA serves as a resource for the development and augmentation of water resources for the users and residents in Pinal County. The organization partners with cities to develop sustainable plans for water usage and management.
“Our goal is to advocate for comprehensive and responsible policy and to see that this area is represented at the various tables,” Singleton said. “Our goal recognizes that agriculture is the life blood of our area. We don’t really expect that to go away, nor do we necessarily want that to go away.”
