assured water supply; certificate; model.

Summary

The bill lets the Arizona Department of Water Resources re‑examine applications for a Certificate of Assured Water Supply (CAWS) on land in the Phoenix active management area, provided the request meets specific timing and municipal provider conditions. It requires municipal water providers to calculate excess groundwater each year and offer a portion of that as long‑term storage credits to the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. The goal is to encourage groundwater replenishment while helping developers secure reliable water supplies.
