Peoria could see up to a 60% reduction to its Colorado River water allocation as soon as 2027.

City of Peoria

Peoria could see a 40% to 60% reduction to its Colorado River water allocation beginning as soon as 2027, officials say.

Melinda Whittington, Peoria’s water resources adviser, said that means the city’s 34,000 acre-foot allocation from the Central Arizona Project would be reduced to 14,700 acre-feet.

An acre-foot represents about 326,000 gallons, or enough to supply two to three homes for a year.
