Scottsdale City Council approved at its meeting Tuesday, Aug. 23 the updated Integrated Water Resources Master Plan, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, according to a city staff report, city council approved an engineering contract with Carollo Engineering Inc. to perform the services associated with the preparation of the IWRMP update. The IWRMP was initially scheduled to be completed in 18–24 months.
The evaluation looked at current conditions, and as a result, the current drought developments as seen developing this summer are not a part of the document.
