Introduction
Planning for water supplies began in Prescott’s territorial times (1860s). Now, looking to the future, the City will again assess the water supplies and its customer’s water demands. The plan intends to provide continuity, stability, and will be subject to regular updates.
Purpose: City Council Strategic Plan 2026-2031 states, "By July 2027, through the development of a long-term Water Management Plan that includes a focus on infrastructure, distribution and delivery, conservation, capacity, and safety, the community will experience safe potable water within the water service area boundary."
Water Service Area Map
Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S. § 45-402.31) defines the term service area as: “The area of land actually being served water for non-irrigation use by a city, town or private water company plus additions to such area which contain an operating distribution system owned by the city, town or private water company primarily for the delivery of water for a non-irrigation use.” The map below depicts Prescott’s water service area as of 2024.
