is sounding the alarm during her State of the State Speech by releasing the 100-year water supply report.This comes as a surprise to a lot of homeowners out there as many say they moved less than three months ago and say if had they known about this, they may not have moved to the west Valley.
"Department of Water Resources that shows portions of Phoenix's far west Valley are currently short of the 100-year assured water supply program by 15% today."All along, Buckeye city officials say that essentially, they believe they have enough water in its aquifer and that managing that water is key to making it last.
"I'm concerned because we need water to survive. Without water, then we're like instinct, we have to survive with water. So, yeah, I'm concerned about it," Moodie said. "I hope they can solve the water issue … build more stuff to contain water and clean water, you know, so we can stay here because it's a nice community. Buckeye is a really nice place, so we'd like to stay here as long as possible.
