The first thing to understand when it comes to the drought and water concerns is Sun City West relies 100% on groundwater pumping.
“We have plenty of water for a number of years and I don’t have the number on years before we run out, as it depends on what is going on around us,” David Hunter, Property Owners and Residents Association Water Committee chairman, said.
He added it is important to get the word out about the seriousness of the water issues Arizona is facing and not wait until there is a disaster to react to. EPCOR Water Co. representative Art Nunez affirmed the wells in Sun City West are good and the systems are running well.
