AMWUA leader briefs Realtors on water shortage

Arizona’s water challenges don’t mean residents need to leave the state. That was the message Warren Tenney, executive director of the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association, shared with Phoenix Realtors learning about the shortage. Tenney called the prospect of less Colorado River water next year a “paradigm shift.” He said conservation alone won’t solve the problem; new water supplies will also be needed. Fortunately, cities have been preparing for years.
