With drought trends on the rise, cities across the Valley have been hard at work looking into areas of water storage and conservation in order to prepare for any major or unprecedented water shortages.
During a May 3 Scottsdale City Council work study session, Mayor David Ortega and council members discussed this issue that has become an ever-present concern for Scottsdale residents and those around the state.
At the meeting, Scottsdale Water’s water policy manager Gretchen Baumgardner and executive director Brian Biesemeyer spoke to the mayor and council about the recent Colorado River water shortage and how the city plans to handle its water now and in the future.
