Pinal water-study pushback
by Mike Sunnucks | Rose Law Group Reporter
CAP canal just north of Florence town limits on the 79.
There is push back over assertions that fast-growing Pinal County does not have enough water to keep up with long-term growth.
An analysis of an Arizona Department of Water Resources report on Pinal’s current water use and potential future needs shows there are more than 9.7 million-acre feet of water entitled long-term for future growth in the county.
That equates to 291,000 homes and is 5 times the existing use of 2 million acres of water over 100 years.
