2020-02-04 Prop. 400: Comply or evade?

The City of Prescott is considering a controversial proposal to provide municipal water and sewer to areas outside the city without annexation. The proposal would sidestep the procedures in the Reasonable Growth Initiative (Prop 400). The Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) evaluates policy based on the effect on the overdraft and consistency with existing city policies, including Prop 400. CWAG opposes policies that accelerate the depletion of the aquifer or weaken compliance with Prop 400.
