I cannot imagine this Xanadu exists... otherwise it would be over-run quickly.

I've always wondered why Crown King was never developed as a master planned community. Over a mile high and less than an hour from metro Phoenix it would be the perfect area for a developer to ruin.

Pretty much all of AZ. People who don't live here keep saying we have no water. We have plenty, SRP and APS along with CAP have made sure of it. Groundwater/Aquifers, running rivers properly dammed for holding lakes, CAP pulling our allocation from the Colorado (which is a fraction of where we get out water)...

There are full threads on here where the un-informed keep trying to tell us AZ has no water. Couldn't be further from the truth. All of the Phoenix Metro area used to be farmland. Can't grow crops without water.

See...I was even wrong on Flagstaff earlier in this thread based on "what I was told" and water restrictions.

Same BS said over and over again. And you guys eat it with a spoon.

Heres one article about problems in rural AZ.

https://www.azcentral.com/in-depth/n...ls/2425078001/

This isn't even talking about the massive development in places like Prescott where water conservation has been totally thrown out the window. Palms have been greased years ago. Permits are given without having to account for the future of the water.

Basically many people moving to these places are within 20 years of death. So I doubt they care about the future of the water. But if you are young and planning to buy a home here and stay 30+ years Id say you are insane. All of AZ is staring down the barrel of heavy water restrictions at very least.

Years ago farms using ground water were causing sinkholes in southern AZ and the new incoming CAP allowed the farmers there to stop taking groundwater but the latest I read from them said they are discontinuing our CAP water in 2023. (about 40% of our water comes from the CAP) If the farmers go back to using wells the sinkholes will be back and worse this time even with modern drip systems. If they put in houses the wells will still be in trouble. SRP did a great job with the 100 year plan but I think that was put in just over 100 years ago? Prescott made a good deal with Chino Valley which sits on the last large aquifer so they will be ok for awhile. But we need for it to rain. Real summer rains like the old days or we will eventually face high rates and or rationing. The price of gas will mean nothing. People will do or pay anything when they are thirsty.

And people have been saying this for the past 30+ years I have lived here.

I know I know...the sky is falling.

And maybe you have noticed how much weather patterns have changed in that time. This isn't 30 years ago. Monsoon season is way down. Its also been very hot for northern AZ. This isn't going away. Some predict drought conditions for decades in the southwest. So far it's looking right on the money
