| Summary: | A recent court decision prohibits the Arizona Department of Water Resources from enforcing gallons per capita per day standards, a key strategy for regulating municipal water use. A Superior Court ruling stated that the provision of Arizona's Groundwater Management Act's Second Management Plan by which DWR imposes maximum GPCD requirements "is vacated and set aside because it fails to address water utilization by end users." The judge also ordered DWR to pay plaintiff's attorneys' fees of $137,900. |
