Arizona town’s residents resort to drastic measures after water supply is cut off
January 17, 2023
Residents of one Arizona town are findings way to get creative when it comes to saving water after their supply was cut off.
On New Year’s Day, the city of Scottsdale stopped providing water to the roughly 1,000 people who live in Rio Verde Foothills — a suburb about 30 miles north of downtown — due to the historic drought.
Water haulers were allowed to fill up tanks at stations in Scottsdale and water was able to run through a standpipe because Rio Verde Foothills does not have its own water reservoir.
