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.

Another 200 homeowners in Rio Verde get water from wells on their property that are running dry, forcing them to periodically rely on water haulers, as well, residents said this week. The municipal utility Scottsdale Water decided to cut off Rio Verde Foothills to reduce its consumption as drought persists throughout the West. Arizona relies on water from the diminishing Colorado River, which supplies water to about 40 million people in several states. The utility informed Rio Verde Foothills in November 2021 that its water would be cut off starting this year. Scottsdale’s conservation efforts have left nearby residents of Rio Verde Foothills without enough water for basic necessities, such as doing laundry and washing dishes.
