This was the first update to Water Plan: 2000-2050 since it was produced in 2004. Issues and challenges to a secure water future for our community remained largely the same as in the original Water Plan: 2000-2050. This update also accounted for revised population projections, an increase in the City's Central Arizona Project allocation, and changed planning assumptions and priorities since 2004.
