Arizona Water Suppliers Should Initiate Procedures to Encourage Conservation

摘要

Arizona water treatment plants and water companies must find ways to convince consumers to conserve supplies,according to a state Supreme Court decision.The court ruled that the Arizona Department of Water Resources(DWR)can set water conservation standards on providers instead of end users.Water providers must encourage their customers to reduce water usage.The case stems from a suit filed by the Arizona Water Co.,which argued that the Ground Water Management Act required the state to regulate the people using the water,not the agencies distributing the water.
