City of Prescott Annual Water Withdrawal and Use Report Calendar Year 2016
Description
When discussing the City of Prescott’s water resources there are two components: first, the Resource itself; and second, the Demand placed on that resource. The City’s resources include groundwater, surface water, and treated effluent. Demand relates to serving customers and making other allocations.
Resource
The City’s Water Resources are recognized by the State of Arizona in a legal document known as a Decision and Order (2009 D&O). This sets forth the City’s legal water portfolio.
Demand
The City has current demand as well as committed demand on the resources in the portfolio. These demands are inside as well as outside of the City limits.
An Annual Water Withdrawal and Use Report accounting for both the resources and demand is required to be submitted to the Arizona Department of Water Resources no later than March 31st. (A.R.S. §45-632).
