OV Central Arizona Project Water
|
Oro Valley Water is taking steps to deliver our Central Arizona Project (CAP) water through the Tucson Water System. The delivery of renewable CAP water will reduce the use of groundwater which will help protect and preserve the aquifer. Oro Valley Town Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Tucson for interim delivery of Oro Valley's CAP water on Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Oro Valley Water Utility will soon begin delivering CAP water to the residents and businesses within our water service area. The water delivered will be the same quality that Tucson Water currently delivers to nearby customers in the western part of Oro Valley including Ironwood Ridge High School and Wilson Elementary School. Oro Valley's CAP water will be recharged into the groundwater table west of Tucson and then pumped from wells and delivered through the Tucson Water system north to the Oro Valley water distribution system near Shannon and Naranja. Now, that the IGA is approved, the Town of Oro Valley began CAP water deliveries January 27, 2012. The Oro Valley Water Utility will continue to keep you up to date with information regarding the CAP water project with inserts in your water bill.
