Water Conservation Strategic Plan
Summary
The town's consultant recommends an enhanced conservation program costing about $400,000–$500,000 a year to save 2,000–2,500 acre-feet annually — roughly 70,500 acre-feet projected demand by the out-years vs. nearly 8,000 under status quo. It will feed into the upcoming water rate review.

[Archived] Town Council Study Session Thursday — March 5, 2026
Prescott Valley is building a long-range plan to keep water demand in check as the town grows toward 80,000 people by 2055. The consultants' model shows demand climbing to 8.5 million gallons a day without action; conservation programs could bend that curve. Council wants mostly voluntary, rebate-style options and regional cooperation with Prescott and other neighbors.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
