The Scottsdale City Council has taken steps to address water supply issues in the Rio Verde Foothills area by approving an intergovernmental agreement with the Rio Verde Foothills Standpipe District. This district was created following Arizona Senate Bill 1432, which became law in June. The agreement ensures that Scottsdale's water resources will not be used and that costs are fully recovered for the city's residents.
