The House of Representatives voted against HB2561 — a short-term solution for Rio Verde Foothills. It involved an agreement being made between Scottsdale and Maricopa County, but that isn't so easy.

Reim spoke with ABC15 from his truck on his way to haul his own water since he can't afford to have it delivered. Scottsdale had proposed an agreement in which it would buy water from a third-party source, treat it and sell to Maricopa County. In turn, the county would handle billing and distribution to Rio Verde Foothills residents.
