Global Water Resources CEO Ron Fleming said the lack and expense of water will someday seriously limit growth in Arizona.
He said the water issue is already hindering growth in some parts of Pinal County.
In speaking before the Maricopa City Council on Tuesday during a work session, Fleming said he doesn’t see the water situation as a crisis because outside water can be purchased if local reserves aren’t enough. He did admit that buying water will be expensive.
