According to SRP We Have Plenty of Water For The Future

On Sept 14, 2018, the Kasten Long Commercial Group (KLCG) in partnership with American Title Service Agency hosted a unique educational event at SkySong.  
Some of the best speakers in their field defined the economic engines and planned activities in and around South Scottsdale that will produce many JOBS projected to result in a very strong demand for housing. This demand is anticipated to significantly increase residential and commercial property values.  
SRP – Water Resource
While the activities in southern Scottsdale are about to drive property values higher, the most important presentation may have been the long-term water resource for the entire Valley. Colette Moore, Senior Water Planning Analyst for SRP, acknowledged that many folks believe our growth may not be sustainable, but she assured everyone that because SRP has been providing and planning our water supply for more than 100 years, we have a reliable, abundant and well-managed water supply for the future. In addition, she noted that between 1957 and 2016, the population for metro Phoenix increased 504% while the annul water use dropped 2%. Another dramatic point made was that water from the Salt and Verde Rivers that run directly into the Valley come from a huge drainage basin that include Prescott, Flagstaff, Payson, Show Low, Alpine and Globe – all areas receiving much more precipitation than the Valley. Companies considering expanding or locating to our area need to know we have plenty of water for the future.
