Mayor Romero says Tucson is positioned better than most areas of the southwest with decades worth of groundwater in storage.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Tier 1 water shortages kicked in for the first time this year. Meanwhile, levels at Lake Mead continue to fall.
Romero says the City of Tucson will discuss with other jurisdictions a coordinated conservation agreement. That also includes the potential for leaving a portion of its normal allotment of Central Arizona Project water in Lake Mead. She says cutting back now would be better for the city than allowing water levels to drop low enough to trigger additional mandatory shortages across Arizona and in Tucson.
Water flowing from the Colorado River through the CAP system is a big reason for the growth of Tucson and other Arizona cities over the decades.
