Water is the most valuable resource in any desert community. It is essential for the Town to manage water resources effectively to ensure the needs of both current and future residents are sustainably met over the long term.
What did residents say about water use and conservation?
Through a series of surveys, meetings, and engaging online discussions, residents prioritized the following:
- Maintaining Oro Valley’s water availability and planning for long-term sustainability
- Increasing community resources for water conservation
- Expanding water conservation programs
- Efficient use of all water resources (drinking and reclaimed water)
The draft plan reflects the voices of residents, establishing goals, policies, and actions to guide Oro Valley into the future.
Here are just some ways the residents’ Plan will guide future water use:
- Promote and increase efficient water use
- Increase awareness and education about water use and conservation
- Ensure the long-term water resource supply, sustainability, quality, and groundwater conservation for present and future Water Utility customers
Your voice is needed!
It’s time to ensure the draft plan captures the true values and priorities of our residents. We invite you to read through the details and share your thoughts about the water goals, policies, and actions by October 31, 2025. Visit OVPathForward.com/water today.
