'I never thought, after 20 years of running water, that Scottsdale would cut us off,' one resident said. “I just never thought that.”
As the situation continues to unfold, here are a few things to know about the community and its water woes.Rio Verde Foothills is an unincorporated community, meaning it is not within the boundaries of a city. That makes it far out of reach of municipal water pipes.
But some developments across the county and state fall into a loophole in the law. There, developers split properties fewer than six times to build new homes, meaning the houses aren't technically inside of subdivisions. And that means private property owners never had to prove a 100-year water supply.These types of developments are called “wildcat” subdivisions, and Rio Verde Foothills is a textbook example.
Instead, Galvin favored a long-term agreement with private water utility Epcor. That potential solution is currently in the works, but since the company is regulated by the state, the plan first must go through Arizona's Corporation Commission. If Epcor gets approval to serve the area, the company estimates it will take at least 24 to 36 months before a permanent solution is fully in place. It also notes the ideas that involve Scottsdale depend on the city's approval.Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega has repeatedly called himself a"hard no" on helping Rio Verde residents, saying that water isn't"a compassion game.
Even when Scottsdale began threatening to cut off the community's water, many residents said they didn't believe it actually would happen without a permanent solution in place.
