In May 2023, Governor Hobbs established the Governor's Water Policy Council and associated Assured Water Supply (AWS) Committee.
The objective of the AWS Committee is to review and make recommendations for changes to AWS policies (legislatively, administratively, or by executive action) in order to address the challenges revealed by AWS groundwater modeling projections and continuing to:
• strengthen the integrity of the AWS program
• protect consumers and aquifers
• ensure future growth is not reliant on mined groundwater
The Tortolita Alliance (TA) has been monitoring the AWS Committee and submitted the following comment letter today. You can also download the letter at the link below.
