Chelsea McGuire of WIFA says they're looking at what the state needs in terms of additional water along with where and how much they're willing to pay for it. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX — The State of Arizona committed $1 billion in funding over the course of three years to the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona, or WIFA, to boost our water supply with alternative water projects.$333 million was allocated to the authority in 2022 to boost those efforts but this year the state's new budget is scaling back.
Those projects include drilling new wells in the East Valley, reconstructing a levee in Winslow along with irrigation and xeriscaping improvements in Glendale to name a few. "There's nothing wrong with those projects but they don't contribute to that vision of how we find the next source of water for our state," McGuire stated."I think there's a real fear and a real potential that signals to those folks who may have those good water augmentation ideas and want to be part of that investment that maybe this isn't as serious as we thought.
