The plight of an estimated 500 households that rely on hauled water from a nearby standpipe has become a national symbol of Arizona's failure to manage development in the face of a shrinking water supply.

It wanted the City's water to be used by city residents and Rio Verde Foothills lies outside the city limits. Yet, when it happened, there was no plan in place. Rio Verde residents filed a lawsuit against the City of Scottsdale less than two weeks after the shutoff in an effort to get their water services restored.
