The Phoenix City Council has approved a 10-year partnership with Salt River Project to help ensure resiliency in the Valley’s water supplies in the future during extreme drought and shortage conditions on the Colorado River.
The agreement, the second of two partnerships signed this year between SRP and Phoenix, will compliment a first-of-its kind water agreement approved by the SRP Board and the Phoenix City Council in March. Under terms of the latest partnership, SRP has agreed to provide Phoenix with access to additional storage capacity in certain SRP-owned and -operated underground water storage facilities. This allows Phoenix to store currently unused portions of its annual allocation of Colorado River water for later recovery during potential shortage events.
