Water is my life. I have spent over 40 years in the water-management business. Now, even in retirement, I remain deeply committed to ensuring Arizonans have access to water.
Today, our primary water-delivery system is facing a serious threat that jeopardizes Arizona’s long-term water supply strategy. The threat comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed regional haze rule that would require Navajo Generating Station operators to install as much as $1.1 billion in emission controls to improve Grand Canyon visibility. This will drive up energy and water costs and put thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars of economic activity at risk for potentially no change we will ever see.
