Yet, despite grave and passionate warnings \u2014 from experts, residents and even former city leaders \u2014 one East Valley city is ditching critical water funding.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=211\">Judge bars Phoenix from enforcing parks ordinance against church group<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday evening, the affluent suburb of Scottsdale unanimously passed a $2.1 billion budget for fiscal year 2026-27 that didn\u2019t include $233 million for various water projects, both active and planned. In its place, the budget included $100 million for \u201cwater source and supply.\u201d The change \u2014 which leaves critical water resources, like a wastewater purification facility, without assured funding \u2014 elicited spirited criticism from attendees at the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScottsdale is not yet in a crisis,\u201d said Bruce Hallin, the former director of water supply for the Salt River Project, during the public comment portion of the meeting. \u201cBut without significant investment in water infrastructure today, we are placing undue risk on future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scottsdale currently receives its water from four sources: the Colorado River, the Salt River Project, groundwater and treated wastewater. Colorado River water accounts for nearly 70% of that supply, including 90% of the supply in north Scottsdale. The city relies on the Colorado River more than any other city with roughly 250,000 or more residents, said Sarah Porter, the director of Arizona State University\u2019s Kyl Center for Water Policy.<\/p>\n<p>That supply is about to take a huge hit. Negotiations have stalled between the seven Colorado River Basin states over how to allocate the river\u2019s dwindling water supply, and the federal government may impose cutbacks when the current river agreement expires at the end of September. Porter said that cities like Scottsdale \u201cneed to be prepared for a potentially 100% cut in supplies in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Scottsdale City Council had done that in the past. In 2024, the council adopted a six-year strategic water plan that included wastewater purification and recycling via its Advanced Water Treatment facility. Per that plan, Scottsdale would \u201cbecome the first city in Arizona to implement direct potable reuse\u201d \u2014 that is, sending purified water right back into taps, rather than storing it in an aquifer for up to a decade \u2014 \u201con a system-wide basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou never want to have all your eggs in one basket,\u201d Councilmember Solange Whitehead told Phoenix New Times ahead of the vote. \u201cTo avoid a catastrophe, we have to diversify, and that profile will include local recycled water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funding for water recycling \u2014 which does not rely upon the Colorado River \u2014 that is now up in the air.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>A MAGA talking point<\/h2>\n<p>The issue has become a far-right bludgeon ahead of city council elections this fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comedian-turned MAGA hype man Rob Schneider has turned to social media to fervently push back against Scottsdale\u2019s water recycling project, labeling it \u201ctoilet to tap\u201d or poop water and slamming it \u2014 without evidence \u2014 as unsafe and untested. He\u2019s tossed \u201cSewage Solange\u201d epithets at Whitehead, who has been a vocal advocate of the project, and teamed up with far-right Republican city council candidate Michelle Ugenti-Rita to push against the project.<\/p>\n<p>Whitehead said Schneider\u2019s rhetoric is \u201cundermining trust in Scottsdale\u2019s state-of-the-art treatment facility. It\u2019s saying don\u2019t trust the government. Well, the local governments are responsible for providing safe, secure and affordable water. These antics are undermining municipalities across the West.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Porter said she understands why people are concerned, but said the recycled water is clean and safe under these treatment processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho would want to drink wastewater? Nobody,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019d be a terrible thing to do. Effluent\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s wastewater that has gone through treatment \u2014 \u201cis a different thing. It\u2019s a water of completely different character. And then, when that effluent is treated to potable water, it\u2019s completely different. It\u2019s your tap water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more than 20 years, Scottsdale\u2019s Advanced Water Treatment Facility has treated recycled water via indirect potable reuse, allowing it to reenter the city\u2019s water supply as drinking water, according to the water department\u2019s website. It\u2019s a complex, intensive system that treats the recycled water through the city\u2019s conventional water reclamation plant \u2014 further treating it with ozonation, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet photolysis \u2014 before it\u2019s injected into dry wells, where it receives natural filtration over several years. Then the water reaches an aquifer or the Reclamation Water Distribution System for drinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=209\">How Maricopa County\u2019s top prosecutor got her loudest critic disbarred<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The wastewater enters an intensive treatment process to become effluent, at which point it can be used to water golf courses or create snow at Arizona\u2019s Snowbowl. To become drinkable, it\u2019s put through a second advanced treatment process. That water isn\u2019t going directly from treatment to taps just yet, though. The direct potable water use project has to navigate an extensive process that could take years of testing and permitting before that pipeline opens up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite an effort to demonstrate to the (Arizona) Department of Environmental Quality that your plant should be permitted to be able to deliver that water to taps,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n<p>Since the strategic plan was passed in 2024, the city has been moving the ball in that direction. Scottsdale received the state\u2019s first permit for direct consumption of ultrapurified water and was working with the state to finalize the next steps in the permitting process, making it further along \u201cthan anyone else in Arizona,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n<p>After the next step is finalized, the treatment plant will begin treating water through this process and collecting data over several years. But now that funding has been pulled, that progress came to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>\u2018Kicking the can down the road\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>At the Tuesday meeting, City Manager Greg Caton cast the water funding change as preemptive, noting that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality will be issuing new testing standards for purified water facilities. That will likely affect the project\u2019s cost, so the city is waiting to allocate funds specifically for APRW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That pause will cause \u201cadditional lag time,\u201d Porter said. She called the decision \u201cmisaligned with the need for alternative water supplies\u201d because the project is already on a tight timeline and \u201cScottsdale can\u2019t just flip it on and off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the public comment portion of Tuesday\u2019s meeting, several residents offered similar warnings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Former Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega said that \u201cthe budget is basically saying, \u2018Let\u2019s put it off, let\u2019s wait and see how bad it is,\u2019\u201d while ex-councilmember Betty Janik said, \u201cIt looks like politics to make the budget look good is winning out over common sense in this election year.\u201d Scottsdale resident Dan Ishac told the council it was \u201ccommitting the biggest sin in government\u201d by \u201ckicking the can down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those comments fell on deaf ears. Whitehead introduced a motion to allocate $20 million from the city\u2019s water budget contingency fund \u2014 about half of the fund\u2019s amount \u2014 toward drilling wells and to APRW. Vice Mayor Maryallen McAllen, who told New Times that \u201cwe could not have picked a worse time to do this,\u201d seconded Whitehead\u2019s motion. But Councilmember Barry Graham made an alternate motion to pass the budget and five-year capital improvement plan without Whitehead\u2019s request. Without the votes on her side, Whitehead voted to support Graham\u2019s motion, which passed unanimously.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Mayor Lisa Borowsky said she was also concerned about water, but was \u201creassured\u201d that the council and members of the public will have a \u201ccomprehensive discussion\u201d to \u201creaddress the funding\u201d of the strategic plan after they learn how much it\u2019ll cost. Council member Adam Kwasman, who has been among those pushing misleading toilet-to-tap claims, said he\u2019d like to reach out to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about Scottsdale\u2019s pure water.<\/p>\n<p>In response to questions from New Times, Scottsdale spokesperson Holly Peraltra wrote in an email that \u201cthe city\u2019s commitment to water security has not changed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThis budget approach is intended to provide flexibility while ensuring future investments are guided by the best available technical, regulatory and financial information,\u201d she added. \u201cScottsdale will continue to evaluate all available water supply options and make strategic investments that protect the community\u2019s long-term water future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Borowsky, Kwasman, Graham and fellow councilmembers Kathy Littlefield and Jan Dubauskas did not respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=207\">Get your weed from Trulieve?
