The Colorado River Lower Basin states of Arizona, California and New Mexico have sent a two-year proposal on how much water each state can use.
The plan is consistent with the City of Scottsdale’s planning assumptions, according to City Manager Greg Caton and Scottsdale Water Interim Senior Director Thyra Ryden-Diaz.
“The proposal is structured as an interim measure focused on stabilizing conditions at Lake Mead and reducing the likelihood of more severe shortage tiers in the near term,” a memo dated May 4 from the two to Mayor Lisa Borowsky and the rest of the City Council says.
