City of Mesa's Water Supply Portfolio
The scarcity of water and the importance of sustainable water
supplies are all over the news right now. But it is not news to
us.
The
City of Mesa boasts a 100-year assured water supply as
designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The
City has worked hard and planned well to develop a robust,
sustainable and diverse water portfolio and has augmented its
supplies with water stored underground to protect against future
drought and climate change. All of this means that Mesa
can support a vibrant population base,
recreational facilities and industrial
economy for both current and future
generations.
Available
supplies include Colorado River water delivered via the Central
Arizona Project, Salt and Verde river water delivered via the
Salt River Project, local groundwater and reclaimed water from
the City's water reclamation facilities. Because Mesa has
participated in nearly every water rights settlement in the
state, has built the infrastructure necessary to depend on both
surface and groundwater and has ensured an appropriately sized
contingency fund for its water utilities, Mesa's water supplies
are physically, legally and finacially secure.
