If a catastrophic power outage hit northern Arizona, the city of Flagstaff would have enough water for approximately 44 hours.
That supply, the Flagstaff City Council agreed Tuesday night, is not enough in the case of a disaster, when it could be possible for the city to lose power for multiple days.
The council directed city staff to research options that would allow the city to have a sustained minimal supply of water in case of an emergency, which could include buying new power that could be hooked up to equipment at Lake Mary to ensure the city has continuous water supply.
