Stakeholders hold ‘brainstorming’ session on county water usage
by Aaron Dorman | Maricopa Monitor
Roughly halfway through their planned study of the Pinal Active Management Area, the Eloy and Maricopa-Stanfield Basin study group is opening up the floor.
The group is hosting a consultation workshop that began Monday and will continue Tuesday afternoon, from 1 to 4 p.m., during which stakeholders — city officials, utility managers, members of the public — will be brainstorming and discussing solutions to projected water shortages in the area.
“The main goal of the basin study is to help water managers plan for the future,” said Jake Lenderking, senior vice president for water resources and legislative affairs with Global Water Resources. “There’s a lot of uncertainty in the future. The sessions are geared toward, if we see these types of problems coming, what are potential solutions?”
