PHOENIX - State lawmakers lined up the votes as the last day of the 2022 legislative session wound down to look for long-term sources of new water for Arizona - but only after they concluded they need to do something more.
And soon.
While Rep. Mitzi Epstein, D-Tempe, was opposed to the legislation, both the House and Senate agreed Friday to empower a revamped Water Infrastructure Finance Agency to come up with - and fund - ways to deal with the fact that the amount of water being used in the state is more than what is currently available.
