Golf courses need water to survive in Sun City West and managing the water is an every day task.
Last year 3,610 acre-feet of water was used, which was 308 acre-feet under allotment. For the past 10 years, the Recreation Centers of Sun City West numbers were under allotment.
Todd Patty, RCSCW environmental services manager, said association officials are currently entering the 4th management plan under the Arizona Department of Water Resources, which included a reduction for all seven golf courses. For RCSCW courses, it is about 76 acre-feet less water.
