Arizona has taken steps to lower residents' water consumption as it combats a long-term drought. Meanwhile, the spigot flows freely for the Saudi-owned company, Fondomonte, WaPo reported. For years, that information was unavailable to Arizona due to little state oversight and regulations, the Post reported. Meanwhile, state and city officials throughout Arizona have taken steps to cut back residents' water usage. In January, Scottsdale also cut off the water supply for about a thousand Rio Verde residents, citing extreme drought conditions.
