Related: About this forumAz GOV Katie Hobbs Reveals West Valley Current Water Supply
Every new home built by a developer in Arizona must be able to show that it has 100 years of assured water supply.
On Monday, in her State of the State address, Governor Katie Hobbs revealed a large area of the far West Valley is far short of that requirement and accused former Governor Doug Ducey's administration of keeping the information secret from the public.

Hobbs said former Governor Ducey's office instructed ADWR to keep the report under wraps from the public.
"I do not understand, and do not in any way agree with, my predecessor choosing to keep this report from the public and from members of this legislature. However, my decision to release this report signals how I plan to tackle our water issues openly and directly," Gov. Hobbs said.
