Report
Summary
Under the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) title 48, chapter 20, Irrigation Water Delivery Districts, when the majority of the lot or parcel owners entitled to or capable of receiving irrigation water from the same system want irrigation water delivered to their lands, they may propose organization of an IWDD. Maricopa County requires that applicants for an IWDD within City of Phoenix boundaries obtain City Council support before the County will start the process of forming or re-establishing a district.
If approved by the City Council, landowning neighbors seeking an IWDD complete a special taxation impact statement, and submit this document to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, along with Salt River Project (SRP), will decide if a petition to organize an IWDD may be circulated. See Attachment A for the Consent from SRP to the Board of Supervisors.
This request has been reviewed by the Water Services Department.
Financial Impact
This action has no financial impact to the City of Phoenix.
