Prescott Valley has pursued recharge, reclaimed-water and policy changes to secure future supplies, Wadsworth says
Summary
Wadsworth outlined strategic steps the town has taken — referenced effluent sales (2007), an agreement tied to the Big Chino Water Ranch, closing a multifamily water-rights loophole, and stormwater capture and recharge projects — as part of efforts to secure multi-generational water supply.
Wadsworth said the town has used multiple approaches to strengthen long-term water security, from participating in regional agreements to updating local policy.
He recalled that in 2007 the town sold effluent and entered into an agreement with Prescott related to the Big Chino Water Ranch as part of a larger plan tied to growth and developer contributions. "We've, enhanced our policies related to, you know, how we're gonna use reclaimed water or, you know, what we're gonna be doing with bulk water sales," Wadsworth said, adding the town has pursued stormwater-capture and recharge projects on the town campus and has been meeting regularly to consider additional measures.
