A community near Scottsdale, Arizona, is running out of water. Amid the finger-pointing, the real question is: how many developments will be next?
The best gossip you’re likely to hear in Rio Verde Foothills, Arizona, is about water. Last month, when a few residents stopped by Karen Nabity’s sprawling, high-ceilinged home, the talk quickly turned to wells.
“My neighbor two lots to the east of me just got done putting in a nine-hundred-and-sixty-foot dry hole,” John Hornewer said.
Two women exchanged a horrified look. “How much did they put up, cost-wise?” Leigh Harris asked.
There are still huge irrigated farms on the west side of town and the golf courses all look very nice. The farms are on Indian land which complicates matters.
