State water regulators have confirmed their data shows there may not be enough water underground for dozens of planned developments in Pinal County, new subdivisions that, if built, would bring more than 139,000 homes.

The data, which The Arizona Republic obtained through a public-records request, raises red flags about growthand the water supply in one of the fastest growing parts of the state.
