While there are many battles still to be fought over water resources in the months and years ahead, at the Congressional level alone, Greg Stanton says, it’s nice to be able to celebrate small victories.
That’s what Stanton wanted to talk about March 10 when the Congressman showed up for the presentation of a symbolic $1 million check. That’s the approximate amount of a federal appropriation Stanton (D-Phoenix) says he helped secure to help fund the city digging a water well along McQueen Road in south Chandler.
“Thanks, in part, to Chandler’s leadership, the city has a diverse water portfolio that’s not as heavily dependent on Colorado River water as some cities,” Stanton said. “Chandler’s been instrumental in conservation and other water fronts. For years, I’ve worked closely with them to secure federal investments to meet these kinds of moments.”
