🚨🚨🚨 Official per RVFSD: The water will flow on Monday 10/9. Thank you to the board for your work, and tireless effort, countless meetings, emails, and support of community partners. Thank you to the City of Scottsdale and EPCOR. Thank you to all who helped. Moving forward!

The solution is in the short term though -- the community still awaits a decision from the Arizona Corporation Commission to a long term solution.

[Sasha Hupka @SashaHupka]

Back then, residents told me that the community's infighting over finding solutions was "vicious," pitting neighbor against neighbor.

At recent meetings, I've seen people who were on different sides of that dispute have friendly, casual conversations. Truly a full circle moment.

BREAKING: I'm told that temporary water will begin flowing to Rio Verde Foothills on Monday morning. This comes after months of uncertainty for the community. Now, the challenge remains finding a long-term, permanent fix to its water woes.

Story on the way.

As Rio Verde Foothills gets close to short-term solution, tough decisions remain https://t.co/vSWFvC0kg8

RVFSD has approved the EPCOR Agreement to provide water to the Rio Verde Foothills. This completes the second step in our process. Thank you to EPCOR for creating a pathway to low cost water. Working together and protecting our community is paramount. This is how we move forward.

@codyreim247 Great job! Keep spreading the word!

[Sasha Hupka @SashaHupka]

The council unanimously votes to approve the agreement with the stipulation that @rvfsdaz must work with city staff to create a traffic mitigation plan for haulers. That includes Mayor David Ortega with a “yes” vote.

“It’s a good day” and “excellent deal,” city leaders say.

[Rep. Cody Reim @codyreim247]

@scottsdaleazgov voted today to approve an IGA with @rvfsdaz to treat water outside Scottsdale’s water portfolio for use by #RioVerdeFoothills. Thank you to everyone that had a hand in assisting our community and getting us to where we are today. We now have security in knowing that we have access to water until @EPCOR is online for our long term solution through @CorpCommAZ
