The solution to the hauled water problem in Rio Verde Foothills hammered out by state, county and municipal lawmakers with private water utility EPCOR may not be as elegant as once thought, according to some area residents.
Karen Nabity has written to the Arizona Corporation Commission concerned EPCOR does not have enough water to serve the 1,344 homes expected to sign up to use standpipe the company is building for the unincorporated community northeast of Scottsdale.
She’s also concerned about the cost of the water, that is supposed to be flowing from the standpipe by Dec. 31, a date that has turned tenuous.
