凤凰城计划进入干旱管理第二阶段，米德维尔征收附加费
Read, Watch or Listen
Phoenix city leaders this week outlined plans to move from Stage 1 to Stage 2 drought management by year-end as Colorado River allocations decline, while Midvale enacted a temporary 25% drought surcharge effective May 1 to encourage voluntary conservation and Kearny reported usage declines one month into strict restrictions. City officials said Tuesday that the Colorado River supplies about 40% of Phoenix's water and federal cuts are expected before the end of the year, prompting moves to store water underground, expand groundwater pumping, and advance a new purification plant; Midvale's surcharge will appear on June bills and local leaders urged continued savings.
