Lower Basin States 700-Plus Plan
Summary
Oro Valley would leave up to 4,000 acre-feet of its CAP water in Lake Mead annually for 2027-28, on top of an expected 14% shortage cut, in exchange for equal long-term storage credits. The town saves about $1.3 million a year in delivery charges, which staff wants to bank toward securing future water supplies through long-term leases.
