One of the City of Peoria’s most viable sources for potable water has been its
groundwater. However, the State of Arizona has recognized that this source is also
depleting and it has now mandated that its cities move away from their reliance on
groundwater sources. The City of Peoria has understood the challenge of protecting and
conserving its most precious resource. The City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan has
budgeted nearly 50% of its allocations to water-related projects. It has appropriated
nearly $74 million to its plan.

Northridge Water District Partners With Other Agencies

Northridge Water District (NWD), located in the north central part of Sacramento County, in Sacramento, California, along with several other area water agencies faced the similar issue of finding an adequate water supply for a growing population through conjunctive use of surface and ground water. Northridge draws on 33 wells in its district to supply 19,145 customers of which 17,238 are residential. Over the past 20 years, the ground water table has been overdrafted at a rate of 1.5 to 2 feet per year. The lower water table deteriorated the water quality as well as increased the energy costs for pumping. In addition, state and federal environmental agencies are instituting new water quality standards that would require further expenditures for the 33 wells.
