The Council Subcommittee on Water Issues convened on June 3, 2025, to discuss ongoing legislative matters concerning water bills in Arizona. The meeting focused on updates regarding the tracking of water legislation and the role of the Northern Arizona Municipal Water Users Association (NAMWA) in this process.

The discussion began with an overview of the current status of water bills, highlighting that the legislative session is nearing its conclusion. The speaker noted that NAMWA has been instrumental in monitoring and lobbying for various water-related bills, having supported 29 bills and opposed 39 during the current session, with a neutral stance on the remaining proposals.

Additionally, the Arizona Department of Water Resources was mentioned as a valuable resource for tracking legislative developments. Their website provides summaries and statuses of water bills, with the latest update noted to be from May 30, 2025. This information is crucial for stakeholders as they navigate the complexities of water legislation.

The meeting concluded with an acknowledgment of the importance of staying informed about legislative changes that could impact water management in the region. The subcommittee plans to continue monitoring these developments closely as the session wraps up.
